Terese, it's as good in its way as anything I've read of yours. Ten horns!
Do they hunt rhinos from camels? The market I'd think would mostly be for Year of the [insert animal figure] dudes, who credit sympathetic magic for reptile power.

WHENEVER YOU SEE A RHINOCEROS
Whenever you see a rhinoceros at large,
**
stand before the creature,
and contemplate its celebrated feature.
**
The herbivore won’t charge.
Whenever you see a rhinoceros, you’ll know
**
you’re either dreaming or
watching an antiquated movie, for
**
there are none left to grow
that thorn which was no aphrodisiac.
**
If you see a rhinoceros,
you’ll soon enough awaken on a bus
**
or a train on the wrong track,
a track which leads far back in time to when
**
a creature weighing tons
could roam without the hazard of some guns
**
in the hands of clueless men.

Whenever you see a rhinoceros,
and you've gotten lost, my dear tourist,
you're probably not in the Galapagos,
more likely a tropical forest.
omigod! I can't stop!
