Mainly from Oz these Really Awful Creatures Woz

PUN ALERT!*

If pandas emanate from
 panda-monium,
And panderingly sing with
 a euphonium,
Emus-ingly, while emus
 emu-late them too
In voices that would truly
 make a kanga rue
The hearing of it; how, then,
 could Koala Bear
To ko-al’a way to hear it
 and not bear a share?
A platypus might build on
 with its ducky bill –
Though neither puss, nor platy,
 he’d get quacking still!
If gaiters worn in alleys
 alligators are,
As snappy wear for ankles
 they’d be up to par!
They’d join the kookaburras
 in the panda’s song;
But surely cooking burros
 in a pan does wrong? 

(This scene’s set in Australia,
 where they’re barking mad;
‘Cept pandas come from China …
 but they’re just as bad.)

*You were warned!
