Who really wanted to be a kangaroo,
so she hopped up and down 
in her frilly night gown
and ended up in the loo!...

is coated in layers of poo;

and stuck to the seat like it's glue...

Who hated the zoo’s vegetable stew.

Growing wild in West Indies and Argentina

I went to Peru
And found a kangaroo
I tried to take him to a zoo
But then I found him in my room!

Now he's my pet
Jumping like a jet,
Oh how I regret 
Ever taking him to my flat!...

With more than one suitor, knew not what to do 
Yet on Valentines day 
She never got a lay
Her ovulation cycle was way off cue

        On each of his balls, a llama tattooed

        As soon as his fans cheer, they have to boo...

        Who encountered a wild boar with the flu

           If it's not too much to ask'
        The boar sneered, 'I'll be hog-tied if I do'...

“Mew!”

There once was a cat from Peru.
That sat all day long whining, “Mew”
One day her master
With words did blast her.
So she ran away, “Mew.” Adieu.
