Best Rhinoceros Poems

Yellow Rhinoceros

I once saw a yellow rhinoceros
And everyone said, "That's preposterous!"
But soon they all went
Because of the scent
He'd farted and it smelled like phospherous!

Trying to point long nose into business like us
And incredible case in point never could...

Or one of those crazy chicks
Because I believe that Unicorns
Really did exist
Don't roll your eyes
Or make that face
Just humour me

Yaks chewing cud as slow as can be, 
X-ray tetra in the aquarium are seen,

Enormous gentle beast
Equals man's compassion.
Each has powerful strength,
Ears that have massive size.
Elongated nose helps
Enrich all its senses.
Earth's largest animal.

Rhinoceros and elephants
are hunted for their horns...
there are very few extant:
profit has a malicious intent!

Predators are to blame for the merciless
slaughtering...they attack these harmless,
huge animals...

Lavender rhinoceros
Was staring at me

Some call me loopy
That's a compliment to me
Silly people rock

Every time I sneeze
I piddle in me trousers
And poop...
