A Manatee’s large and quite round
and three different species are found
they are known as sea cows
and have furrowed brows
speaking softly with hardly a sound
to view them follow the link

A lion, a lemur, and lynx
each dreamed they were really a sphinx
They posed every day
in their own special way
whilst taking the odd forty winks

Kate the Koala was ill
so the zoo keeper gave her a pill
First it made her quite sick
and then did the trick
She’s now feeling really quite brill!

Justin the Jaguar was mad
He’d argued with Mum and with Dad
Steam came from his ears
and then there were tears
which made them all terribly sad

A horny iguana once said,
“It is awkward when going to bed.
With spikes down my back,
when I get in the sack
I often make holes in my head!”

Herbert the hippo was fat
there’s no denying of that
When bathing in mud
other animals should
beware when Herbert goes splat!

A gibbon was singing aloud
he was talented, drawing a crowd
He lived in a ghetto
and sang high falsetto
His Mum and his Dad were quite proud
Rapid rhyme #5
Colleen, over at The Chatter Blog, has an amazing ability to draw, and write, so succinctly and powerfully. If you’ve never seen her little masterpieces then it would be well worth a few moments to have a look.
Colleen’s post today, which you can see here, inspired me to write this rapid rhyme.
An upward glance
An upward glance
gives one a chance
to lose one’s head
or dream instead
of heavenly goals
a downward look
to read a book
gives myriad tales
of diverse scales
to feed our souls
an empty mind
I often find
relaxes me
so I can see
the way ahead!
Thank you Colleen.

A fine flying frog has been seen
whose skin is incredibly green
it glides through the air
without any care
where it’s going or where it has been
Lundi limerick #5
An elephant with a huge belly
ate mostly bananas and jelly
she thought she had sinned
when with copious wind
she ended up landing in Delhi
