Llama, Llama, on a cliff in the Andes
Those ponchos, those eye lashes

What a bunch of dandies
Llama, Llama, Mac Truck of the mountain passes

Who needs wheels when you have sharp hooves
that punch into the earth, like sharpened spikes

Llama, Llama, a wonder evolution proves
built for the high ground and perilous heights

Cockroach, cockroach, under the sink early in the morn
On a trip to the water closet I saw you there

In the blink of a eye, you were gone, but I would have sworn
I saw you there, quicker than a linebacker, on an insect tear

Looking for food crumbs I'd wager, but I marvel at you
You've been here for millions of years, a remarkable creature

Are you some kind of insect maid, cleaning and licking, too
Like a Walt Disney cartoon, an insect Porky in a strange animated feature

They say if the world gives in to atomic warfare insects would survive
and you would, too, of course, would be one of those to come out unscathed.

Platypus, Platypus, what the hell are you, not one animal but five
When evolution formed you, it was certainly depraved.

Are you a marsupial, related to the Koala bear
or are you a transplant who hitched a ride on an asteroid

What a wonder the world is I'm prone to swear.
So many strange creatures, inventiveness by a wondrous artist employed.                                       Mystery Writer
