My Rhino Plays the Xylophone - Graham Denton
My Rhino Plays The Xylophone
My rhino plays the xylophone,
my tiger plays the flute,
my lemur picks a lyre
and my llama plucks a lute,
my panda has a mandolin
it delicately strums,
my elephant’s a trumpeter,
my dromedary drums.
My mole knows the viola
and my antelope sitar,
my goat’s a virtuoso
on a classical guitar,
my cello-playing jellyfish
is certain to astound,
my marmoset’s marimba
makes a most melodic sound.
My snake can shake a rattle
and my panther bangs a gong,
my wallaby starts singing
and my ants all chant along,
my crocodile on glockenspiel
is wonderful to hear,
my weasel when it whistles
is so easy on the ear.
My lizard is a wizard
on the tenor saxophone,
my yak can play the zither,
my macaque the slide trombone,
my walrus roars in chorus
with my mongoose, moose and mouse…
if you’re a fan of music
you’d just love it at my house.
I Think I’m Allergic To Mornings
I think I’m allergic to mornings.
As soon as I crawl out of bed,
I wander around like a zombie
that’s just risen up from the dead.
I’m dozy, I’m dreamy, I’m drowsy,
I’m in an unshakable daze,
I stagger about in a stupor,
and cannot break out of my haze.
I’m ever so sluggish and slothful,
I’m tired from my head to my toe,
I find that I move very slowly
and haven’t much get up and go.
This allergy’s most disconcerting,
though, strangely, it seems, as a rule,
it only affects me on weekdays
when I’m getting ready for school.
The Spinach Went Spinning
The spinach went spinning,
the fennel was flung,
the rocket got launched
and the broccoli slung,
the radishes reeled
as the carrots were hurled,
the watercress
