NARRATOR TEXT:
I. The Turtle
The turtle lives 'twixt plated decks
Which practically conceals its neck.
I think it clever of the turtle
To overcome so big a hurdle.
II. The Python
The python has, and I fib no fibs,
Three hundred eighteen pairs of ribs.
In stating this, I place reliance
On the verified facts of modern science.
This figure, it has been tried and tested,
And zero objections were suggested.
III. Hyena
Hyena is the kind of beast
I'd not sit down with to a feast.
He is appetite undiscriminating,
And mindless laughter unabating.
Lounging there, in the plush arena,
The studio audience is mostly hyena!
IV. Hog
Some scientist may at last disperse
The mysteries of the universe!
But me, I cannot think
Why pork is white, and ham is pink.
