Who's Who At the Zoo

Anacondas crush to pieces Bisons sport long shaggy hair Cheetahs are the fastest species Dolphins leap into the air Elephants have large incisors Fennec foxes, ears like Spock Great white sharks unnerve the divers Hyenas are laughing stock Indris is a type of monkey Jaguars are fast and strong Kangaroos are tall and clunky Llamas' necks are rather long Mandrills have red-bottomed features Newts can grow an extra limb Ostriches are speedy creatures Polar bears just love to swim Quetzels are ablaze with colour Rattlesnakes subdue their prey Sloths show life could not be duller Tawny owls sleep through the day Uakaris have red faces Vultures scavenge on the go Wild boar live in diverse places X-ray tetra brightly glow Yaks lock horns when in a fight Zebras' coats are black and white Now you'll know just who is who When you visit London zoo. 22.02.20 Abecedarian Contest Poetry Contest - sponsor Caren Krutsinger Abc Contest Poetry Contest - sponsored by Allright Poet

This poem is so brilliant. When lines are this short and rhymes are so connected I know you put a lot of thought and work into it. It is such a fun read, and I think would make an awesome children's book. I'm putting this in my faves to come back to and replay the pleasure. You are a rhyming beast!

You always manage to write such meaningful feedback, John which is greatly appreciated. It is somewhat staccato in nature but I'm fairly pleased with the descriptions.
