Some call the NEWT
A savage brute,
And say we should avoid him.
But I've not seen
Him very mean,
Unless some one annoyed him.

The OYSTER'S brain
Weighs but a grain;
He's ignorant, and yet
He's very kind,
And you will find
He makes a lovely pet.

I would suggest
You don't molest
The prickly PORCUPINE.
His quills might be
Quite nice to see -
They do not feel so fine.
The mountain QUAIL
Likes snow and hail
And chilly weather most.
He's very good
Out in the wood;
He's better upon toast.
RHINOCEROS
Looks cross to us,
And rather loose and lumpy;
But I suppose
A horny nose
Would make us grim and grumpy.
The SNAIL, you know,
Is very slow;
He doesn't dare to roam
Without his shack
Upon his back,
So he'll always be at home.
The TIGER knows
A lot of foes;
'Most all the creatures fear him.
I you should meet
Him in the street,
You'd best not linger near him.
