You don’t need to go to the Zoo; it’s a jungle out there.

And most people can’t tell a RABBIT from a HARE

So you eloped as a bit of a LARK

And ran away with a LION CHEETAH in the dark

In the beginning she was FOXy and perky

But she had picked you out to be her TURKEY

She was intent on ROBIN you

And you never even GNU

Her eyelids fluttered like BUTTERFIES wings

But you also found like a BEE she stings

Being as timid as a FAWN was not her culture

She could be as vicious as a SHARK or VULTURE

At first she was only GROUSEing slightly

Now she acts like a SKUNK or WOLF nightly

Like a RHINO in this misery you wallowed

And her lies and BULL you quickly SWALLOWed

The constant whining makes you think she’s CUCKOO

And she keeps her money in her pocket like a mother KANGAROO

The grumbling reminds you of a JACKDAW or CROW

Or maybe a black RAVEN so beloved by Mr. Poe

Long gone are the days when she cooed like a DOVE

She is like nasty CAT whom you no longer love

Sometimes you feel like a ROOSTER who’s been plucked

Other times she threw things and you DUCKed

You can’t BEAR to admit you were wrong

And acted like a SHEEP instead of being strong

You were treated like a BOA would a MOUSE

It was more like a TIGER than a DEER in your house

You acted like a GIRRAFFE with your head above the fray

Or like an OSTRICH buried it in sand or clay

You know your GOOSE is cooked and your eyes are blurred

It’s time to get rid of this MOCKINGBIRD
An ZEBRA will not lose stripe nor a LEOPARD lose his spots

And a CROCODILE will pull you under until your brain rots
