Animal Limericks

There was a small bird with a limp

who wanted his feathers to crimp

so he sat in the fire

took a week in the shire

then came back to feather and primp

*

A spritely young donkey named Joe

wanted to paint all his toes

so he bathed in acrylic

that no one could mimic

and colored himself to his nose

*

Our parrot is a talkative fowl

not clever or wise like an owl

we know you can speak

so just shut your beak

or I'll cover your cage with a towel
