HUMAN ZOO

Flea in the ear
Frog in the throat,
Dog breath,
Wearing a mink coat.
Swine flu
Tongue is a fork,
Lionhearted
Eyes like a hawk.
Memory of an elephant
Built like an ox,
Timid as a dormouse
Sly as a fox.
Ants in your pants
Fight like cat and dog,
Talking very croaky
Throat contains a frog.
Animals everywhere
All over me and you,
A walking menagerie
A human zoo.
