At The Zoo
First, I saw the
white bear, then I saw the black;
Then I saw the
camel with a hump upon his back;
Then I saw the
grey wolf, with mutton in his maw;
Then 1 saw the
wombat waddle in the straw;
Then I saw the
elephant a-waving of his trunk;
Then I saw the
monkeys—mercy, how unpleasantly they smelt!
(William Thackeray)
