There’s a writhing pile of pigeons —
Not two or a few or a smidgen —
You can raise their clout, and call them doves,
But I’m glad they're not on the wires above.

Baboon [Lyric Poem]
I would never wish to impugn
That noble creature, the baboon.
Some say mean things about their fangs,
But about their gnarly butts-- DAAANG!

Ostrich [Lyric Poem]
For the Ostrich, I feel quite bad:
The bird's great gift, it never had.
But, a flighted one, I don't wish to see;
I'd hate to have a falling one land on me.

Late to the Hunt [Senryū]
tardy deer hunter
finds a deer grazing beside
his hunter's stand.

Bear [Lyric Poem]
Walking down a trail, I had quite a scare --
For walking straight towards me was a big ole bear.
It glanced at me, and then down at its feet,
Then that speciesist bear had the nerve to cross the street.

Black Mamba [Lyric Poem]
The Black Mamba is not black...
Well, it's black inside its mouth,
But if you're getting that view,
Things have definitely gone south.

Rhino [Lyric Poem]
Away trots a baby rhino.
It's the smallest rhino that I know,
And, yet, if it trotted on your foot,
Your foot would definitely be kaput.

Fly [Lyric]
They say that each and every single fly
Has five thousand lenses in each eye:
A three-sixty view from toes to rump,
And thus I become the fly-swatting chump.

Lizard [Lyric Poem]
Ah! What a life, to be a lizard:
Unacquainted with ice or blizzard,
Knowing only warmth and beaches...
All but for sand in one's nether reaches.

Crab [Lyric Poem]
Not sure whether to call the crab "monstrous,"
Or, rather, to class it "preposterous?"
Claw outsized, staggering like drunken ants,
If I saw one dog-sized, I'd crap my pants.
