An overweight vulture named Marion,
When others had eaten, would tarry on.
She was slow to embark,
Which caused the remark,
"Your excess baggage must be carrion."

Bad luck

A lioness a hunter spied
And decided to go for a ride.
The lion awoke
And ate the poor bloke,
Thinking he'd injured his pride.

A fish by any other name

A fortunate fish is the cod,
Who owes it mostly to God
And a little good luck
That it isn't stuck
All its life with a name like the scrod.

Not all like rock

A young Hindu maid fromTujunga
Said to her friend, "Cowabunga!
Rock music I hear
So deafens my ear,
The Din I prefer would be Gunga."

Some have it good

Lucky's the beast called the kudu,
Which has very little tu du
But sleep, eat and drink,
And that's why, I think
It has much less stress than yu du.

I have wondered this

The warthog is terribly warty.
It has a million and forty.
You might think it would seem
A dermatologist's dream
To catch one while out on a sortie.

How we differ

Odd-looking beasts are the manatee,
Who're not afflicted with vanitee.
They don't care how they look
When their picture is took
(Humans think this is insanitee).
