Should you behold
Banana Zoo
you're sure of a big surprise
for there you'll see Ken
Kangaroo
with odd-shaped, kaleidoscope eyes
and Terry the Tapir and Gerald
Giraffe
showin' off their skills as dowsers
and Sid the Zookeeper with a
halibut scarf
and goldfishes pinned to his trousers.
There's Venomous
Vince, the variegated viper,
pole vaultin' in one-legged jeans
and Peccary
Pete the porcine sniper
with his blowpipe and haricot beans.
there's
Gertie the Gibbon and Maureen Macaque
solicitin' in suspenders and
bras,
and Lewis the Lion who diets on wrack
and keeps turquoise tadpoles
in jars.
And should you get
stuck in Banana Zoo,
where the purple striped Aardvark
plays skiffle,
I
know a good shrink
who will help pull you through,
for there's no such
place
-it's piffle!
