Marmaduke the marmoset

 was not to fussy what he e

 One day he ate some chilli beans

which were too hot for his intestines.

A lesson that he won’t forget.

 

The Jackal is well known to dine

 on carrion the lazy swine

He cannot bring himself to kill

 or just perhaps he lacks the skill

Leftovers seem to suit him fine.

 

The Lady made a dreadful fuss

 of her pet dwarf rhinocerous.

Like all his kin he had poor sight

and crapped on her one summer night.

Which made her frankly furious?

 

My Kingdom for a horse he cried

although was to fat too ride.

A shire horse took just one glance

and said no way you have no chance

 I disapprove of suicide.

 

In cold clear streams crayfish abide.

 They have to shuffle they can’t glide

They are not built to swim you see

 though you might think they ought to be.

But I Still love them boiled or fried.

 

The Jelly fish around our coasts

are colourless and pale like ghosts.

 Their tentacles left dangling

to make it easier to sting .

He dines the best who stings the most.

 

I had a fine potbellied pig

I fed him well and he grew big

I had him executed then

 turned into chops to feed the men.

My wife said this was Infra Dig.

 

My mother was an Octopus

 my father was a giant squid.

I’m what their union produced

 It’s no surprise that I’m confused.

 It shouldn’t  happen but I did.

 

Hairless Horace was a bear

 who was allergic to his hair

He shaved it off so he could be

 free from itching incessantly.

He found he could bear being bare.

 

Oliver the ocelot

was proud of every single spot

that he had on his dappled hide .

Although his sister Lucy tried

to convince him he was not.
