The birbs and the blees and the butterfleas
The birbs and the blees and the butterfleas
are bimbling about, as they do –
alliteratively, of course,
“Buzz, buzz!, Beep, beep! Boo-hoo!”
The Bengal Tiggers, the Kangaramoo,
and the Gallumphant,
are conspicuous by their absence notes,
in triplicate, upper case and coloured blue.
The Easels and the N-guins argue over the rules of Brackgammon,
whilst the Errfets and Olems
play Mah-Yong between one and two – but always getting it wrong,
Which is why those two species just do not get along.
All in all,
Nature is wonderful,
its creatures so cool;
so what happens when it’s gone,
will we return to the pool?
