The Ark

The King was a lion as most of them will
His lioness queen beside him knew the drill

The baboons just wanted to monkey around
But like the rest there were two to be found

Two lines of two too far back to see
Male and female there with no absentee 

The dogs looked around and saw the two fleas
Then rolled their eyes at Noah, not at all pleased

Soon they were all loaded for the ride ahead
All accounted for as the rain was wide spread

When the rain stopped they all mated but one pair
The gobblenips were both male so unfair 

When Noah lifted one up he didn't see his pride
There was shrinkage since it was cold outside!
