The Curious Case of The Bumblebat Moo

A bumblebat moo flew in from the moon,

With a hat full of jelly and cheese on a spoon.

It danced with a parrot who juggled three frogs,

While sipping on tea brewed by two laughing dogs.

A llama named Lou wore pyjamas of lace,

And raced a gazelle on a unicycle base.

A turtle played drums with two porcupine quills,

While caterpillars twirled on the tops of windmills.

The octopus yodeled from under a rug,

As a hamster conducted a choir of slug.

Then in came the king of the Kangaroo Choir,

Wearing slippers that squeaked and a tail wrapped in wire.

So if you should see, just at quarter to two,

A bumblebat moo singing dooby-doo-doo

Don’t panic, don’t run, just give it a wink,

Then offer it soup that it probably won’t drink.
