Absurd Animals, Bizarre Beasts and Curious Creatures

Have you ever met with a wild Gruddifet?

They're truly wondrous creatures, indeed

With trunks tall as trees

And a forest on their knees

Gruddifets are a curious breed

Or perhaps you have seen a bunch of Yellow-bellied Keen?

They stick to the equatorial places

They gawk and they squawk

In a multicolored flock

Like a rainbow of aerial aces

Or if you've gone to Juneau, maybe you have viewed a Rhuno

Those solitary beasts keep to themselves

You can find them, if you wish

Swimming with the freezing fish

In the glacial water depths where no man delves

If you're the social type, then I bet you've spotted Krype

Bouncing in their hulking herds of heliotroupe

If one has a vulgar mouth

Its mother makes it face the south

And she washes out the dirty words with soap

Then again, if you're a loner, you have no doubt seen a Moaner

In the dark and misty corners of the night

Scuffled footprints on the wall

Mark the place where one, with gall

Tried to win another's domain in a fight

If you've glimpsed a fierce Valeer, then you'd better run, my dear

For the city keeps them under lock and key

But more often than not

It is all for naught;

The Valeer have a knack for breaking free

Now, a Wrillot's quite a sight (I assure you they don't bite)

For the smaller children or the child at heart

They flap their tiny wings

When the leading Wrillot sings

And they dance as if they're from a world apart

No matter what you see, I can only guarantee

That the world is full of creatures big and small

Some are normal, some are odd

But they're all creatures of God

On this good earth where he placed us, one and all
