A penguin is black and white.
It swims like a torpedo.
It hunts in the ocean,
Looking for fish
While wearing a tuxedo!

Loved to laugh with little Luke.
Ho! How they heartily howled
As a clown chucked cookies to the crowd.

My aunt wears a tall, pointy hat
And lives in a house with a black cat.
Her other pet is so tall and thin,
I need a ladder to scratch his chin.
Her pet’s so very big that when I tap his knee,
He has to take a look around to see if it is me.
His food bowl’s the size of a kiddie pool.
I stand in his shade when I want to stay cool.
He’s way too big to fit in the house.
He makes a dog look like a mouse.
Her pet roars like a jumbo jet.
My aunt’s dragon is one special pet!

His son asked the farmer, “How
Come there’s no milk in this cow?”
The farmer replied,
“I don’t want to be snide
But you’re trying to milk a sow.”

There was a thin man named Dean
Who rarely ate more than a bean.
His meals were so small,
Though he was quite tall,
In time he couldn’t be seen!

She whinnied, nickered, and neighed all day,
Was even noisy when eating her hay.
It had to happen,
It did, of course.
My talkative horse has become hoarse.

A plan I have to hatch
To protect my garden patch.
A certain hungry rabbit
Has developed a bad habit.
She eats everything that’s green,
Leaves behind a sorry scene.
I’ll have to be a busy digger.
Now my garden must be bigger.
I thought it was bad before.
She had babies, now there’s four!

It’s raining cats and dogs,
At least that’s what they say.
When rain pours down like this,
We can’t go out and play.
Why do they say dogs and cats?
Does it never rain other things?
I’d love to be showered with silver
Or drenched in diamond rings.
A downpour of kittens and poodles,
I’ll admit is kind of cool.
But a storm of tigers and noodles
Would surely shut down our school.
I’m almost always hungry,
Looking for tasty food.
Rain some chicken upon me,
Preferably barbequed.
Why doesn’t it rain candy?
I’d cheer for every drop.
Right now it’s raining water.
I wish this rain would stop!

Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday to you.
You’re not only older,
You smell like a shoe!
