The Octopus and the Gerbil
The octopus sometimes forgets
Its suckers when gerbils it pets.
It sticks to its arm,
Then falls, to some harm,
Which both of them deeply regrets.

Suzie Q Anteater and Ms Gerbil
Mrs. Suzie Q. Anteater will take the lead, Ms. Gerbil said.
If I try to take over she might thump me hard on the head.

The Runaway Gerbil
There was a hole in your cage
And out ran you
Head held high and laughing
