Now Russell's inside of the mussel.

Was out for an afternoon's play,
And meaning no harm
He imprisoned my arm
In a tentacle sort of a way.

Is the best I've found yet--
I sure hope it don't go out of fashion!"

Who first bites her oysters in two.

They'd raise such a hullabaloo.

Confessed he was feeling quite blue,
"For," he said, "as a rule,
When the weather turns cool,
I invariably get in a stew!"

Of such beauty, 'twould please any girl.
Though 'twas only a grain,
It gave him great pain;
It caused him to twist and to twirl.

Just one tiny sea-shell;
She's opened a shell selling store.

To say that you're slower than slow.
It takes you six hours
To water the flowers;
I'd class you with the escargot.

A slug with the taste for some brew
Took a tour of an ecofreak's zoo.
There he imbibed
Till his thirst did subside,
And it tasted of cinnamon too!

When it comes to the subject of slugs,
You gardeners are really such mugs.
To keep them in good cheer,
You must give them some beer
Then they'll leave you to tackle the bugs.

Of crap," said the snail to the toad.
And having said that,
A truck came and splat!
The snail was all over the road.

And wore paint as disguise in its place.

But got fined for not keeping snail's pace!

If the snail you've not seen,
By the slime that comes out of its tail.

But I fear that it isn't for sale."

'Round my body it clung;
With affection I christened it Sid.

I thought you were taking a nap.
Did a bunny come over and tap
You on the head,
Waking you instead,
And now you've got one in your lap?

It is hard for me to get repose,
When my hares just keep tickling my toes,
With their soft cotton-tails
And the fur that prevails,
To rub gently here under my nose?

Well hi, little bunny, come here;
Let me stroke you and tickle your ear.
Who's a coochee-coo pretty
Boy fluffykins? Pity
I've picked you for dinner, m'dear.

A lisping old rodent, a rabbit,

Is scarcely enthralled
When asked, "Are you called
A bunny, a hare, or a wabbit?"

Stepped backwards while waiting to dine.

Whilst they try to avoid rabbit stew?

But speak more in jest than is sorrow.

Don't give me the jitters.
As they say, hare today, gone tomorrow.

But it went to earth I know not where.

A proposal we have that is nice.

And it's done every day
By the rabbit who eats his food twice.

Demonstrate the most curious behavior.

To reveal things too secret to tell ya'.

At the deer by the brook,
And, distracted, ran over a 'possum.

With new wings, in the sky,
And find there a pleasanter place.
