Abe the Antelope
Ate a nice cantaloupe
But he won’t elope
With his lady Hope,
…nope.

Limps because her leg hurts
But refuses to see a nurse.

Dives deep under the current
But doesn’t trust the sand.

Danny the Dodo
Loved Tolkien’s Frodo
But refused to see any
Lord of the Rings films
In the theater:
He had a deep fear
Of popcorn from that
One time the family
Left a big bag of it
In the park, and he
Nearly choked to death.
