Aardvark Anteater

Aardvark Anteater

“Get thee behind me,

blue-nosed baboon,

chitter-chatter cheetah!

We are lining up

in alphabetical order

to enter the ark

And I am getting

first dibs!

You can have spare ribs

on a silver spoon,

if you like,

for all I care.

Me, I know what kind

of an eater I am.

And I don’t intend

to share with no-one.”

“Except you, dear .”
