[L.M. Price]

'Stealing a rhinoceros should not be attempted lightly.'
~ Kellog Albran

To catch a rhinoceros: first, fill a large saucerous
with pumpkin and apricot pie.

(It sends them to sleeping with never a peeping
nor even a snoozy 'goodbye'.)

Then toss up a tether of serious leather
round the neck of your rhinoceri.

I'd recommend waiting till his breath is abating
and snores start to rattle the sky.

For rhinoceroses throw terrible fusses
when you get their skin wrinkles awry.

Now whisper your name in the ear of the same
and climb somewhere very up-high,

and hang on for your life 'cause Rhinocerous Wife
is coming with squash in her eye.

It's true what they tell us, she's always been jealous -
let Sleeping Rhinocerous lie!
