A scallop
can't gallop
but compared to a horse, when it comes to dinner,
a scallop's the winner.

An okapi
is more than happy
with only half
the neck of a giraffe.

A camel
in a trammel
is as grumpy
as he's humpy.

[John Isbell]

A male red-breasted nuthatch
simply can't match
the bird of paradise for feathers.
But you will find him in all weathers.

[Roger Slater]

A leopard
would kill a shepherd
and so it may correctly be asserted
that leopards can't be herded.

[Roger Slater]

The mastodon
is dead and gone
but fossils confirm
it was a pachyderm.

[Brian Allgar]

Dr Spooner
Would have agreed, none sooner,
That trying to herd leopards would be asinine,
But shoving them is fine.

[Orwn Acra]

The dodo
is a no-no
and the homing pigeon
not even a smidgen.
