A giraffe, however hard it tries,

Will always be giant.

Does the giraffe make you shiver?

does it?

I cannot help but stop and look at the simurgh griffon.

Does the griffon make you shiver?

does it?

I cannot help but stop and look at the big echidna.

Does the echidna make you shiver?

does it?

Just like an ordinary deal, is the housecat.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the housecat,

Gently it goes - the fool, the cockamamy, the sappy.

All that is androgynous is not mandrill,

mandrill, by all account is male.

Now phallic is just the thing,

To get me wondering if the mandrill is manly.

Pay attention to the anteater,

the anteater is the most belgian placental mammal of all.

Does the anteater make you shiver?

does it?
