Yet more Ogdenashicals

 

Ermintrude the echidna

 lost her diamond tiara.

Her husband trying to be kind

 softly whispered never mind

It never suited your behind.

 

Coromandel crocodile

 whilst swimming in the River Nile

Yawned and swallowed a canoe.

his mother cried this will not do

You make me so ashamed of you.

 

Caroline the kinkajou

liked a glass of wine or two

Which made her act indecently

 so that very frequently

She was confined for her own safety.

 

Sebastian a young male skunk

was a most aggressive drunk.

Until he met his waterloo

and picked upon a kangaroo.

Who showed him what a roo can do.

 

Gustavus gorilla thumped his chest

 to show the world he was the best

When a stray hunter with a gun

 shot Gustavus just for fun

I do not think he should have done.

 

An octopus can count to eight

 the number of his tentacles

I’m sure you will appreciate

 it’s one of natur’s miracles

At least I think so more or less.

 

We rattle snakes are dangerous

 but only if you anger us.

We aren’t aggressive naturally

We much prefer to lie quietly

and will do if you leave us be.
