Tigers wore their best striped suits
Elephants all wore trunks,
they all went to a picnic
with the Badgers and the Skunks.
The Lion's main attraction
was his long brown hair,
and he came too, accompanied by
a Puma and a Bear.
Two Leopards and a Cheetah
were spotted coming here,
followed by a family
a Stag and several Deer.
The Crocodile takes snap shots
of everyone he sees,
from Gorillas in their fur coats
to the little Chimpanzees.
They are all having a great time
eating as much as they can,
the picnic was to celebrate
the absence of Man.

Loved it! Great humor and nice rhyme and rhythm. Your words seem to flow out with ease. I've been trying to bring out the humor in my poems instead of being so serious maybe you can have a look-see and give me some pointers! Write On

I think this write is wonderful. And i know that sophie will love this because she loves animals and she laughs so much when she sees a movie with talking animals in it.
Best of luck to you and Thank you for entering

It did seem really childish to me too. The structure of this piece is really cliche; four line stanzas, abcb rhyme scheme. I'm just looking for more original and creative works here. Thanks for entering, but this is not right for this contest.

Very well written. Seemed childish at first but the meaning of it and the effect was astounding. Interesting to think how animals would act if humans became extinct. Keep Writting!
