1.
If you herd a buffalo
don’t stop to say hello,
just run away
and shout ahoy!
it’s time to flamingo.

2.
So wildebeest,
or won’tdebeest
Serengetit on his own?
And if he does
then would you stay
to throw another bone?

3.
How many elephants
can we fit
upon a continental shelf?
One more, I think,
could be quite bad
for everybody’s health.
