Ima Ryma Poems

As a flamingo, I do eat
Algae and other water stuff,
That keep my feathers tinged replete
In pinkish/reddish pigment fluff.
...

A golden breasted starling, I
Am clad in feathers colored bright.
Shiny black about bill and eye,
A belly yellow like sunlight,
...

The early bird catches the worm -
But that is just so yesterday.
The early bird now flies with term
Of social media the way.
...

Henkel's leaf tailed gecko I be.
Who was Henkel? Who the heck knows?
Called leaf tailed I guess cuz on me
Camoflaged as some leaves it shows.
...

As a lion, I've heard it said
That thumbs have let the humans rule
With fingers far better instead
Of paws to use as a smart tool.
...

Chickens crossing the tennis court.
The referee calling us fouls,
'Hen peck, hen peck, ' we do retort,
Cockadoodled from waggly jowls.
...

Chimpanzees are a social set,
Grouping at the Lincoln Park Zoo.
In public viewing, chimps do let
Humans have a peek a chimp view.
...

The most famous squirrel in the world,
Rocket (Rocky) J. Squirrel, flyer
Through the T.V. air waves he hurled
In flights of fancy not to tire.
...

I'm an ostrich - why the long neck?
Inquiring humans want to know.
Well let me tell you - what the heck!
It's becuz of a tornado.
...

What creature changes footing, so
At first has four, then two, then three?
Many a human does not know,
Though a 'human' the answer be.
