A poem containing the line ‘Whenever you see a rhinoceros’
The rhino, as many would postulate
Is a twin-horned delight, an adorable sight
Who, in spite of his might, is demure and polite
With a mouth that invites us to osculate.
Enwrapped in his leathery armour
He trundles about, through downpour and drought
To grub and to grout at whatever might sprout,
He’s an out and out regular charmer.
But humans can sometimes unsettle him,
He might appear mild but, just like a child,
He’s easily riled and quickly turns wild
Should anyone needle or nettle him.
With a temper as fiery as phosphorus
He’ll glower and he’ll glare and his nostrils will flare
So be wary, beware and be sure to take care
Whenever you see a rhinoceros.
