Pineapple sweet and sour,

 bologna and cheese,

 butter from butterflies,

 honey from bees

Horseradish from horses,

 caviar from the fish,

 come as you are,

 donate a dish

It’s a celebration of nature,

 with guests by the score,

 furry friends are arriving,

 and there’s birds at the door

From pelicans to penguins,

 from salamanders to snakes,

 we’ve got root beer and rhubarb,

 whipped cream and pancakes

The camels came in,

 with one hump and two,

 there’s elephants on leave,

 from a far away zoo

The bears, bobcats, and badgers,

 are parading on in,

 everyone’s happy,

 since we’re all next of kin

The coyotes and owls,

 will arrive after dark,

 it’s starting to look,

 just like Noah’s Ark

There’s antelope and deer,

 mountain goat, elk and moose,

 and autographed pictures,

 from the great Dr. Seuss ©

Come by and join us,

 the party is on,

 all your house pets are welcome,

 so bring them along . . .
