When a kitty kicked the bucket
Because of Spanish Influenza,
She became a tennis racket
And a violin cadenza.
You should be very thankful
You're not one of four iguanas
That Frank dropped in a tankful
Of ravenous piranhas.
When a certain spiny species
Ordered Guinness, ‘With a head’,
Frank yelled, ‘It’s got rabies!!’
And shot the hedgehog dead.
A Brazilian axolotl
Which hadn't even died,
Jack stuffed in a bottle
Of green formaldehyde.
A duke brought in a pheasant
That had lost the power of flight.
'Is the flyin' doctor present?
'Cos I'm shootin' at first light.'
A lame frog was suspicious
When he heard the doctor state,
'Frog's legs are delicious.
I suggest we amputate!'
A goat at the end of his tether
'Cos the seal was always coughing,
Said, 'Let's all club together
Then stuff him in a coffin.'
A sickly boa-constrictor
Had a nasty looking cyst.
'It's all in the mind,' said the doctor,
'You should see a psychiatrist.’
After drinking too much gin,
Nurse Jack's eyes were wonky.
For hours she tried to pin
The tail back on the donkey.
With a beautiful chihuahua,
Nurse was oh so careless.
When lighting her cigar.
Now the bitch is a Mexican Hairless!
The plastic surgeon urges
A nosejob on a rhino.
But the animal emerges
With a nostril on his elbow.
Two cocks with chickenpox
Were taken from the coop,
Locked in wooden stocks
And attacked with chicken soup.
Anne Fibian brought her toad in
To cauterize his warts,
But, due to overloading,
Now wears surgical supports.
In this gruesome sanatorium
For a laugh, a half-cut clerk,
In charge of the aquarium,
Shoved a croc in with a shark!
To an orange orang-utan
Who gave off nasty smells,
They gave his skull a trepan:
Now he's hearing jungle bells.
Two groggy anacondas
Ask the doctor what they've got.
For hours he slowly ponders
Then ties them in a knot.
I brought my greedy pig in
To cure his diarrhoea.
They gave him prune juice with a fig in.
Phew! What a bad idea!
A tearful crocodile
Knew she'd met her Waterloo
When she heard Nurse Jack remark,
'I love alligator shoes.'
