Animal Parade
The monkey in your little red wagon has a feather in his cap. Painted green and yellow it's leaning toward his lap.
Elephants in tights stop at all the lights. To bow their heads when the light turns red; both to the left and the right.
Dog in his clown costume, patch over one eye, leads this parade, laughing on the sly. He dances on his hind feet flips up in the air. Does it all again to watch the people stare.
Giraffes with knitted scarves wound around their necks. Have painted themselves red and blue, pretending their on Star-Trek.
Lions and tigers though big, are just cats, looking very silly wearing cowboy hats, bandannas and lassos and bright silver spats. That jingle and jangle as they stroll down the street, Lions and tigers are light on their feet.
Skunks are not the favorites people say they stink. These have been fixed and been painted pink.
Todays parade has passed us by but come again tomorrow we'll have Zebras and seals, and Bears eating banana peels.
Bye for now.
