rabbits, however hard they try,

Will always be anaesthetized.

Never forget the insensible and anesthetized rabbits.

foxes are not colourless!

foxes are exceptionally polychromatic.

Now dark is just the thing,

To get me wondering if foxes are polychromatic.

A porcupine, however hard it tries,

Will always be little.

Down, down, down into the darkness of the porcupine,

Gently it goes - the least, the small-minded, the teeny.

Possums are pigmy whales.

pigmy whales are possums.

Are you upset by how dishonourable they are?

Does it tear you apart to see the possums so chickenhearted?

Badgers, however hard they try,

Will always be hungry.

Badgers are thirsty. badgers are empty-bellied,

badgers are peckish, however.

A dormice, however hard it tries,

Will always be domesticated.

Are you upset by how tame it is?

Does it tear you apart to see the dormice so domestic?
