Tried a new sport but I kept falling off the horse, so I bought a cow.

Looking at the tree, I spot a squirrel,
He thinks I’m nuts.
In Africa I saw an elephant,
I think.

Tried talking to an ostrich,
He didn’t hear a word I said.
Bought an exotic bird,
Thought I was going batty.

When I said I had to water my lizard,
I was told not to talk dirty.
Wanted to talk about my mouse,
Everyone shushed me.

When I was depressed I got another bird,
Now I’m happy as a lark.
Thought I was smart and got an owl,
He ate my mouse.

Took my fish to the bar,
He drank me under the table.
I would had done better,
But I had my frog in my throat.

My gentle friend sent me to get his lamb,
He was strong as an ox.
Some don’t like my pet toad,
They say he’s ugly.

Tried a new sport,
But I kept falling off the horse.
So I bought a cow,
From a priest.

Had to stretch my dollar,
To pay for my giraffe.
I’d keep going,
But I’m dog tired.
