Antler Ride
I heard the bells ring Christmas Day
As joyfully I chewed away,
The reindeer said, “WHO
On my antlers does chew?”
“I’m guilty,” was all I could say.
“I’m leaving,” the reindeer announced,
“Come down or you’ll surely get bounced.”
“No, I can hang on,
For the time that we’re gone,”
I foolishly squeaked and pronounced.
I shivered and held on so tight,
This trip might just cause me a fright,
The wind whistled past,
We were going so fast,
“Merry Christmas to all and goodnight.”
The Competition
Three chickens who constantly cackle
Keep eyeing the guy with the hackle,
But cock-of-the-walk,
Says, “There’s way too much talk,
The brown hen’s the one I would tackle.”
Black Bear
A black bear who paced on the shore,
Had breakfast, but said he’d like more,
The man in the boat,
Just continued to float,
Avoiding the blood and the gore.
Laughing Kookaburra
See the disrupted feathers on the kookaburra’s breast. Doesn’t it look like a face with two eyes and a ripply mouthline?
There once was a bird who could laugh,
His jokes were much funnier by half,
Than any wild creature
The forest could feature,
He thought life was simply a gaff.
Wallaby
Willoughby Woo was a wallaby
Whose kangaroo friends called him “Wannabe,”
He’d pretend to be cool,
But they called him a fool.
It’s not what a wallaby oughtta be.
“Now listen, my friend, Joey Roo,
I’m certain we’re cousins, we two,
Though different in name,
We are clearly the same,
And you see that I’m handsome like you.”
Still, Willoughby Wallaby Woo
Wished he were a fine kangaroo,
His friend Joey Roo,
Said, “I know what to do.
Just say, ‘Bibbity Bobbity, Boo!'”
Koala Resting
A lazy koala with fuzz
Slept high in a treetop because
He hid from his chores,
Hanging on by all fours
Cuz that’s what a koala does.
Pied Cormorant
A cormorant who was named Wendy,
Was famous for being so bendy,
She craned her neck back,
Without making it crack,
And now this lithe move is quite trendy.
The Chicken Ballet
The big pot of stew was just brimming
With juices right after the skimming,
The drumsticks of chickens,
Said, “Oh, what the Dickens!
We’re doing our synchronized swimming.”
Crispin Loves Walnuts
There once was a squirrel called Crispin,
Who ate walnuts putting his fist in,
The nutmeat was tight,
But he put up a fight,
And got at the food with some twistin’.
