Whenever you see a rhinoceros,
don’t try to invite it to tea.
It’s as rude as a crass hippopotamus
and will not even RSVP.
The manners of many hyenas
are not what you’d wish them to be.
Their maniacal laugh will alarm the giraffe
and they’d rather drink blood than bohea.
Just to get chimpanzees to say “thank you” or “please”
or to learn how to balance their cups on their knees
is a nearly impossible task.
That is equally true of a warthog or gnu,
which will not state a preference for one lump or two--
and as for an ostrich, don’t ask.
