Alphabet soup from A to Z
Bats in the belfry look ugly
Cats in alley eating trash
Dogs chase cat in mad dash
Elephants graze try to hide
Frogs leap pond side to side
Giraffe necking in the trees
Hippo has very short knees
Inch worm crawls acoss dock
Jaguar pounces from a rock
Koala cutest little bear
Lions prowl as eyes glare
Mocking bird takes to flight
Nightingale sings at night
Ostrich with head in sand
Penquin the emperor grand
Quails run across the lea
Rhino has one horn shiney
Squirrels gather nuts to eat
Turtles have very slow feet
Unicorns a myth not real
Vulture scavenge for a meal
Whales swim in ocean blue
Xiiphias a fish swims too
Yak is an ox in the far east
Zebra is a striped beast
Author notes
Xiiphias is another name for swordfish

Well done with your epic acrostic (I think you mean - 'Zebra is a striped beast' rather than stripped though) Thank you for entering.

As I did request spellcheck I have to point out some errors here. Plus the last line - Zebras is????

Very impressive and so cute
I'm amazed that you not only applied the alphabet as an acrostic but you also rhymed in couplets
Wonderful job
Wish you all the best
Much love and many blessings

Excellent. Love those giraffes necking in the woods. This rather reminds me of an old Paul Simon song, "At the Zoo" where pigeons plot in secrecy and hamsters turn on frequently. Very light hearted.
