An elephant and a kangaroo
while playing snooker
caught the flu
a shark who owned a golden slipper
was beaten at golf
by a giant kipper
A vicious pineapple
was eaten by a tree
half way through
his shopping spree
the oak became a submarine
who’s ear got knighted by the queen
The bold fig tree
walking his dog
blinded his hair
in sleet and fog
A silver wasp
who played the fool
was attacked by melons
on his way to school
The dwarf lemon fish jumped up
and beat the wild beam
but now the nose has faded
so no more can be seen
