Best Mammal Poems

Corn has silky hair...
A hard cob for a spine...
It's juice is milky...
It has alot of protein...

Does that make it a mammal?...

Angry like a bear
Wild like an uncaged lion
Cunning like a snake...

Wettest summer in Ontario in the last twenty annuls
Turning quite aquatic, could swim the English Channel
That used to be a big deal
Now it's lost it's appeal
I'm really no hero, just an over-the-hill mammal...

I am a mammal.  She is a mammal.  He is a mammal.
I have flippers, she has flippers, he has flippers.
We all have a song, and we at birth were a car-length long.
 
I am a mammal.  She is a mammal.  He...

Though the eagle needn’t worry,
For its place is still secure,
A new symbol has been chosen
And expected to endure.

Now the huge and shaggy bison
Has been picked to represent
This great land of ours where thousands
Grazed and wandered, quite content.

Since the bison is a mammal
And the eagle is...

Pre-historic mammal

You’re a pre-historic mammal that’s trying not to fade away
Every time you struggle you make the same old mistakes

It’s a world in which we trouble finding different ways to stay
There’s a star up in the sky that was always giving light today

This was the...

M-ongoose fights cobra, 
A-iming to kill the fierce snake, 
E-ating the latter.

R-odent runs away, 
E-vading the smart mongoose, 
Y-et rat is consumed, 
E-ven the earthworms and birds
S-eem to be afraid of him.

On the twelve days of Christmas, West Texas gave to me
	twelve tarantulas creepin’,
		eleven javelinas diggin’,
		ten jack rabbits jumpin’,
		nine skunks a stinkin’,
		eight mantis prayin’,
		seven snakes swimmin’,
		six mountain lions,
	five sunny days,
		four mockingbirds, 
		three hoary bats,
		two horned toads,
	and a cowbird in a mesquite tree.

On the twelve days of...

This cute little creature trundles along,
He cannot speak, nor sing a song,
He cannot run, for love nor dime,
Nor decipher day from the nighttime.
To labor the point, he can barely see,
He only wishes to be free. 
He asks no money, nor food or drink,
For he cannot...

What’s in the grass and what do I know?
There are creepy and freaky things below.

All sorts of insects and crawly creatures
are among grass’ most fearsome features.

I wonder what else is in the grass,
seeds and stems in a crevasse?

They sprout and spread en masse
creating a soft...

Soalas are listed as, critically endangered
They are found in the mountains, of Laos and Vietnam
and are known as, the Asian Unicorn by the Vietnamese
and were only discovered in 1992, as something brand new 

The Soalas meaning, is “spindle horns”, in Vietnamese
and they resemble a Antelope,...

Gassy globular leap
splendor in chromatic tone
golden brown hues race,
leaping waters of delight.
Beneath prolific waves
A humpback whale
birthing.

A newborn rocked
in mother earth as womb,
discoveries come as sands shift;
The timeless sea has secrets,
she shares with only her offspring.

beach day
I play

no turf
go surf

offshore
no oar

ocean
motion

I took
a look

I saw
a maw

sharp teeth
unsheathed

bright white
large bite

shark bait
my fate

I swam
I scrammed

faster
faster

faster
passed her

freestyle
sea mile

achieve
reprieve

ashore
before

dispensed
past tense

some fun
I'm done...
