      Animal Inspirations - Jonathan Kump

      Prologue

      Purr the words, amused

      in these written observations

      or howl each phrase, enthused

      of these creatures and creations

      they are waiting here inside

      in Animal Inspirations...

      and their habitat is as wide

      as...

      as the imagination

      Has Anybody Seen My Ferret?

      There’s a mouse in the house

      And the cat won’t even scare it

      There’s a weasel on my easel

      And he’s perched there like a parrot

      There’s a squirrel on my brother Earl

      Yes, it’s true, I swear it

      But Has Anybody Seen My Ferret?

      There’s an otter drinking water

      And he doesn’t want to share it

      There’s a lemur on my femur

      And I don’t think I can bear it

      There’s a possum, o he’s awesome

      As he’s chewing on a carrot

      But Has Anybody Seen My Ferret?

      The raccoon has been here since noon

      Running round in squares, it

      Seems the mongoose looks a bit chartreuse

      I guess that’s pretty rare, it

      Seems the bat is trying on a hat

      He’s not sure how to wear it

      But…

      Has Anybody Seen My Ferret?

      The Mouse Who Ate A Bear

      If we're all telling stories

      The one I like to share

      Is of the grouse who lived in a house

      and The Mouse Who Ate A Bear

      This tale is always interesting

      Since of course it's so rare

      To have a grouse who lives in a house

      And a Mouse Who Ate A Bear

      I can show you my home and yard

      'Cause it occurred right there

      That's right the grouse lives in my house

      And he saw a mouse eating a bear

      The grouse tybed ub this story

      And he sbells near berfectly

      It's all apout that mouse who scurried

      Peneath that nice bear tree

      That mouse ate the bear stem and all

      And py the very next day

      The grouse was aple to write the story

      Yes it habbened just that way

      Kangaroo

      (lively)

      When I come back again

      I’ll be a Kangaroo

      I’ll hop around

      Be-bop and bound

      And bounce right next
