skittles, the wee orphan fawn,
was looking a little withdrawn,
but deer season came
and she ain’t been the same
since she had a bright collar put on

There once was a partridge named Dwight
Who would always stand guard at first light;
To observe the whole flock,
He would climb a big rock–
For there wasn’t a pear tree in sight

It looks quite benign at first glance
But a bog is a deadly expanse–
If you step off the deck
You’ll be up to your neck
In a carpet of meat-eating plants

A vixen from outside Fort Knox,
Found her marriage to be on the rocks,
But she would recover
And find a new lover,
For after all, she was a fox.

A self conscious frog known as Clyde
Had never once seen his backside,
So he asked his mate Clare,
“How’s my camo back there?”
“I think it’s spot on,” she replied.

A timid young turtle named Nell
Was told she was ugly as hell,
And it hurt her inside
For her friends had all lied–
And now, she stays home in her shell

when mother goose had her first brood,
a rift in her marriage ensued:
her high steppin’ gander
began to philander
whenever he felt in the mood

there lives a young songbird named heather
who thinks she is so ‘all together’,
and that magpie beau monde
is above and beyond–
but they’re really just birds of a feather.

Limerick 37
There lives a delusional pig
Who thinks she’s as thin as a twig,
And when she’s called out
On those ears and that snout,
She says, “They’re just perfectly big.”

A young racist rabbit named Frown
Was putting non-white bunnies down,
But he altered his views
As he hopped in their shoes
In the spring, when his fur turned to brown.
