If the zebra were given the spots of the leopard
and the leopard the stripes of the zebra,
then the leopard would have to be renamed the zeopard,
and the zebra retitled the lebra.
And wouldn't we laugh if the gentle giraffe
swapped his neck for the hump of a camel?
For the camel would henceforth be called the camaffe,
the giraffe designated giramel.
IT would be very funny, if the ears of the bunny were exchanged for the horns of the sheep.
For the sheep would then surely be known as the shunny,
and the bunny quite simply the beep.
