Best Rhino Poems

My rhino can play the flute
And is good at the maracas to boot
Alas he is quite forlorn
For his flute bangs into his horn
So now he has a saxophone to toot...

Run rhino run, just like cousin cheater
Cheat on them 
They are coming again ,now it’s against
Like brother lion fight back

Their stories are made, maiming your horn
They have been there in Bukavu and left it dry
They have been in Bujumbura, left it bloody
Run my rhino run;...

Rhino Run

I fancied to catch me a rhino
A black one, but caught an albino
It seemed that my lure
Was not quite secure
He broke loose and charged my behin--Oh!!

Rotund rhinoceros, short chubby legs
Gingerly walks between old ostrich eggs
She is full of sass
As she makes a pass
Please get me a rainbow tutu, she begs....

I ride on Ryley Rhino 
as down the river we go.
He knows things I want to know.

I said, “There’s a flashy fish!
Watch it swirl and swish!”
Ryley Rhino said, “I know.”

I said, “There’s a crocodile!
Look at its smug smile.”
Ryley Rhino said, “I know.”

I said, “There’s a...

A great big hug across the aisle for his number one cohort

the rhino & cougar conundrum 

fair enough to say that when
s/he got into it, when she dove 
head-first into the pool of passion with
both eyes closed & arms outstretched,
that there was an inherent excitement
to be found attractive at his/her age
by someone so much younger &

When God created me He said Rhino
I want you to stay away from people
For they will fear your horn so much
They will kill you before you kill them

So He decreed that I should dwell 
In the thick bushes of the savannah
And there have my being...

Mama rhino sways slow up Indigo River.
Baby into eager stride for stride and shivers.
Waterbucks nudge tip-toe go downriver.
High grass and baby dance together
A game of play and a chance deliver.
Butterfly flutters hasten thither.
Baby-tired falls asleep standing begins to quiver.

Have you seen the Green Horned Rhino? 
A creature so scarce and so rare. 
We think he’s living in Norwich, 
Dressed as a Hippo, with curly pink hair...

As I was walking in the snow,
I chanced to meet a cold rhino.
  It began to sneeze,
  Creating quite a breeze:
Now what to do? --I dunno....

MEETING A RHINO


I was in a 'Rover
Seeing all the sights
An hour from Nairobi 
Snapping birds in flight
Then I jumped out in the mud
Gazelle herd thundered by
Took some photos snap snap snap
Then the driver gave a cry
Turned around and saw him
A rhino big and bold
Munching on...

A question we choose to ignore
To where shallow rivers flow
Into the riverbed’s floor
Into the horizon’s glow

What are we to do?
He went where no one should
To where no one knows
He could never see past his nose

Did we follow his tracks?
No, he was taken by truck
Some say...

Rhino poachers often hunt at night
When the Rhino has poor eye sight.
These prehistoric creatures
Cannot distinguish human features.
But with a well-developed sense of smell
Fortunately they can always tell
When danger or a poacher is close,
Thanks to their sensitive nose.
Every horn that they take back,
And Rhino body that...

Sumatran Rhinos are listed as, critically endangered
and are now classified as, “functionally extinct”
as they are only seen in zoos, for their genes to be preserved
but the death of two subspecies, makes them so distinct

and are the...
