Who really wanted to be a kangaroo,

in her frilly night gown
and ended up in the loo!...

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

        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.

Never sacrifice meaning for a rhyme.

My next trip is the Andes of Peru....
