A creature of charm is the gerbil
Its diet's exclusively herbal;
It grazes all day
On bunches of hay
Passing gas with an elegant burble.
I know a schoolboy from Dubai,
Who was baked by mistake in a pie.
To his mother’s disgust
He emerged through the crust,
And exclaimed, "What a good boy am I!"
There once was a man from Peru
Who dreamt that he swallowed his shoe.
He woke up in fright
In the mid of the night
To learn that his dream had come true!
There once was a princess named Jinx
Who was asked what she thought of the Sphinx.
She replied with a smile,
"That old fraud by the Nile?
I personally think that she stinks!"
