An unusual menagerie II
By Phil

More immature ramblings.

If you don't like swearing, don't read.

Mahmood the schizophrenic polar bear.

A bi-polar bear named Mahmood
Used to fish in the sea in the nude.
‘Wasn’t me, it was I,’
He’d often reply
When quizzed of his hunting so rude.


Malcolm the deaf bat.

Malcolm the bat was as deaf as a stone,
Flying round in the dark was a journey unknown.
Out flying one night, while out for a bite,
He crashed in a cess pit and swallowed some shite.


Gordon the foul-mouthed cockerel

Gordon the cockerel was a pretty rude bird,
He crowed the fowlest words you’d ever heard.
Instead of the usual morning song
Gordon’s doodles were twisted and morally wrong.
When the sun rose on high in the beautiful sky:
‘Get out of bed you lazy sodding bastards,’ he’d cry.


Roberta the depressed Donkey

My ears are big and my teeth stick out,
I’m not sleek like a pony, just short and stout.
They call me names and think I won’t mind,
To call me an ass is not very kind.

You are in a playful frame of mind Mr. Phil! 
 
These are not as slick as the OC Dog and the Suicidal Wabbit, but I chuckled - probably says more about me than the writer!

P.S. You knicked my "Bi-Polar Bear"!!!

Ferreting for a critique. 
 
He could have bought a Guinea pig, a rabbit or a cat, 
a puppy, or a goldfish, or a colony of ants. 
I was happy when he bought ME, ‘til I realised that 
he derived his pleasure from ferret lined pants. 
 
Halitosis Bat was my favourite of these. 
 
Steve.
Yes, liked these

I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys these sort of verses. Anyone else going to have a go?
