Let's sneak inside the gates at night, A stolen glance that we may sight; The strangest zoo we'll ever see: The Magnificent Maniacal Menagerie... __ ( / .~. \ )___ ))\ /(( \~ (actual //\|. |__|. |/ size) ^ |_| |_|
Of all the creatures in the Zoo, This first will make you gasp and coo; As strong as rhino, as small as ant: That prodigious pachyderm... the Tinyphant.
This teeny tusken mammoth mite, Is big in strength, yet small in height; For it could stampede like a rocket, Yet never leave your jacket pocket.
These microscopic mastodon, Once nibbled tea in old Ceylon; But they migrate in midget herds, By riding on the backs of birds.
And when they land in cooler climes, They have they most amazing times: Scuttling round your house at night, Hunting snacks to chew and bite.
And when it's time for them to leave, They scale a birdhouse, if you believe; And from its roof the herd does spring, To catch a bird and ride its wing.
So don't forget the Tinyphant, Their magnificence, do not recant; For if you do, then you can bet: The Tinyphants shall NOT forget.
