My Boatswain's Left Baboon
A third knee is a mighty boon
To elephants and eek baboon;
As you will surely discover soon.
Not to speak of a haddock's lung
The haddock's wife says it's "well hung"
But does not hum what once was sung.
The starfish has three dozen eyes
And with them, ever eager, spies
Looking out for fresh pork pies
On some dark planet far from light
They cannot tell their left from right
Or when seeing see their sight
With all 'tis fair and fair alike,
To curlew, owl and even shrike
When they go hunting on their bike.
The ostrich and the wildebeest
Did both resolve to have a feast
But squabbled over which ate least
