Animal Antics
Ricky Reynoso rented a rhino
And traveled around and around
He rode from Sudan out to Siam
But lately he cannot be found
Tina Taylor Teased a Tiger
That wasn’t so smart to do
Tina is currently being digested
Down at your local zoo
Bradley Branson bribed a bear
In hopes to find some honey
But all he got was a thousand stings
And now he’s out of money.
Carl kicked a kangaroo
He kicked so hard he lost his shoe
When it kicked back he was more than blue
Because he landed in Timbuktu
Stanley Seahorn selected a snail
As his own role model
He doesn’t like to do his chores
He just likes to dawdle
Pedro pushed a porcupine
When it got in his way
Now he’s pulling out its spines
All the livelong day
Cheri shouldn’t have shoved that shark
But she was in a hurry
She did not make it home by dark
I think it’s time to worry
Candice kissed a crocodile
To see if she could make it smile
Then she ran for over a mile
It only took a little while
Sandy sat on seven skunks
He’s really not a thinker
I barely sniffed and got a whiff
Because he’s such a stinker
