Zoo Limerick

A struggle ensued at the zoo

when King Lion met Jack Kangaroo.

Leo tried to attack,

but Jack fired right back:

Wildlife 9
An amazingly ugly gnu,
Once stopped on the plains for a poo,
A lion went past
And was almost aghast
So he ran off whilst yelling "Ker....phew"!

Hotter Than Heck

Written in the late 1970's
Updated on June 12, 2012


In the summer, a zebra exclaimed,
"That sweaty lion can keep his mane!
     It's a pain 'round his neck
     When he's hotter than heck.
My white stripes will reflect the sun's rays!"

Catnip

There was a lion tamer named Roner
Who acted at times with dishonor.
He abused a lion one night
Which led to a horrible sight.
Hundreds saw Roner become a goner.

David and Goliath

Goliath, a boastful huge giant,

And David, a shepherd and pliant,

So he took a stone,

And crushed his head bone,

Then Israel roared like a lion.

Limerick: Once a Lion of a Man In Ruin

Limerick : Once a Lion of a Man in ruin

Once a Lion of a Man in ruin
Tried to salvage his pawns and queer Queen
Far too late t’was end-game
Even his Knight was lame
So he reset rules and horsed his Queen !

Lennie the Lion

This princely lion called Lennie
In the zoo pub he had one too many
He awoke to exposure
Being in the wrong enclosure
Cuddling a princess lioness called Jennie

Tigger and Leo

A Tiger and Lion joined forces
To run some Man-eating courses
Tutors Tigger and Leo
Said attack at the Knee-o
Then enjoy whatever the Man Course is

The Lion and the Lamb

The lion, King and mighty of all
 beasts
Chosen to be the lamb for all 
 feasts
The Almighty lion of the tribe of

Answered to fill a vacuum for
 hallelujah
The Lamb, God's deed to make us

The Gazelle That Got Away

There once was a hunter called Ray,
Who went big game shooting one day.
As he stalked a gazelle,
A lion caught his smell,
And the predator became prey.

Liberating the Lion

A PETA two went to the zoo

Some cages they’d undo

A lion they freed

And with much speed

He promptly ran them through

Sea Lion and Sea Horse

Sea lion and sea horse were friends of course.
Living in the Pacific of the Norse.
Heard a rumor
Both had a tumor.
Not from an honest reliable source.

A salty sea-lion called Nicky,
Had flippers all snotty and sticky,
Her friend Helen-Rose,
Said "Please blow your nose!"
"And then you won't be quite so picky!"

For Darren White

Lion or Chimpanzee

What if a lion I were to be
Out in field so handsome to see
Or could be leopard who is spotted;
Could tell was him hugely dotted;
Swinging through tree was chimpanzee.

August is keeping an eye on
A randy Leo the Lion
Out of the sky

A Hungry Lion

There was a lion who never felt full
So one day he went and ate an entire bull
He felt so good he just kept on roaring
A hunter heard him and bullets were pouring
Full of bull now, he did not know what befell him.

Some jokes that had people cry’n
They were dumb and lame

Wildlife 47

A lion cub sat in the grass,
Merely watching gnus walking past,
He just scratched his hide,
While the rest of the pride,
Thought his attitude "Really quite crass!"

The Lion of Judah

A priest on top of Mount Zion 
Offered a prayer to Orion
The scripture quoted
On the air floated
So lunch was fresh for the lion
