Who's Who At the Zoo

Anacondas crush to pieces
Bisons sport long shaggy hair
Cheetahs are the fastest species
Dolphins leap into the air
Elephants have large incisors
Fennec foxes, ears like Spock
Great white sharks unnerve the divers
Hyenas are laughing stock
Indris is a type of monkey
Jaguars are fast and strong
Kangaroos are tall and clunky
Llamas' necks are rather long
Mandrills have red-bottomed features
Newts can grow an extra limb
Ostriches are speedy creatures
Polar bears just love to swim
Quetzels are ablaze with colour
Rattlesnakes subdue their prey
Sloths show life could not be duller
Tawny owls sleep through the day
Uakaris have red faces
Vultures scavenge on the go
Wild boar live in diverse places
X-ray  tetra brightly glow
Yaks lock horns when in a fight
Zebras' coats are black and white

Now you'll know just who is who
When you visit London zoo.

This poem is so brilliant. When lines are this short and rhymes are so connected I know you put a lot of thought and work into it. It is such a fun read, and I think would make an awesome children's book. I'm putting this in my faves to come back to and replay the pleasure. You are a rhyming beast!

You always manage to write such meaningful feedback, John which is greatly appreciated. It is somewhat staccato in nature but I'm fairly pleased with the descriptions.
