Bee's Knees

 Bee's Knees 

by 

Xaison Mallory

• Well isn't that just the bee's knees
•    the adder's aunt
•    the cat's sneeze?
• Isn't that just the elephant's fart
•    the dog's logs
•    the flies eyes?
• Couldn't it be the horse's corset
•   the goose's honk
•   or the iguana's gaze?
• Shouldn't it be the kangaroo's punch
•    the jackal's laugh
•    or the llama's spit?
• How about the nightingale's tweet
•    the manatee's moo
•   and the ocelot's mew?
• Who hasn't seen the queztal's coat
•   a panda's parade
•   or a rattlesnake gloat?
• Say that I'm shedding tortoise tears
•   for the serpent's salvation
•   and the urial's unction.
• Where will I find a whale's whipple
•    a vole's stoal
•    or xiphorsura's corpsules? 
• Put it all down to a yeti's yawn
• The zebra's zipped and is now long gone!
