Animal Alphabet, G through M

 The billy GOAT
Can't sing a note;
He has no education.
But it is said
He'll use his head
And cause great consternation.

 
The HIPPOPOT-
AMUS is not
The handsomest of creatures.
But then it would 
Be very rude
To criticize his features.

It's foolish, quite
To quake with fright
At the harmless, tame ICHNEUMON.
I must admit
I'm scared of it;
But then, I'm only human.

The JELLYFISH
Has no ambish;
He drifts around the sea;
He's satisfied 
To ride the tide;
He's wretched company.

The KANGAROO
Feels very blue
Because his legs don't mate.
Unless he trims
His long hind limbs,
He can't improve his gait.

Nobody thinks
Much of the LYNX;
In fact, he much berated.
He's very sly,
and that is why
He's not domesticated.

The MASTODON
Is dead and gone;
Quite naturally, I think
He made his home
Way up 'round Nome;
No wonder he's extinct.
