This learned Fish has not sufficient brains To go into the water when it rains.
The Elephant
The Big Baboon
The Big Baboon is found upon The plains of Cariboo: He goes about with nothing on .
But if he dressed respectably And let his whiskers grow, How like this Big Baboon would be To Mister So-and-so!
The Rhinoceros
Rhinoceros, your hide looks all undone, You do not take my fancy in the least: You have a horn where other brutes have none: Rhinoceros, you are an ugly beast.
The Frog
Be kind and tender to the Frog, And do not call him names, As 'Slimy skin,' or 'Polly-wog,' Or likewise 'Ugly James,' Or 'Gap-a-grin,' or 'Toad-gone-wrong,' Or 'Bill Bandy-knees': The Frog is justly sensitive To epithets like these.
No animal will more repay A treatment kind and fair; At least so lonely people say Who keep a frog .
Oh! My!
