Photograph of an Iguana on the rocks overlooking Tulum Beach.
In Tulum, a lazy old Iguana
 was asked to leave but said, "I don't wanna!"
   They threated and chided -
   reasoned and derided -
 'til it left, bribed with good marijuana.

Photograph of an elephant on a truck taken in Sri Lanka at the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.
There once was an animal tow truck
   that would taxi your horse or your duck.
 Size wasn't deemed relevant
 'til up showed an elephant,
    and the overladen truck got stuck.

There was a cocky safari guide
  who - of lions - was often quite snide.
    He frequently stated
    they were overrated,
  but his view was different from inside.

A tour bus sticker of mating moose
 led a tourist to say, "What the deuce?"
   "I just cannot deal
   with a tour bestial,
 and the memories that it might induce."
