Creature Comforts

A hamster or a vole 
Would rather munch a toilet roll

A toad or a froggy
Would rather chomp on something soggy

A rat or a mouse
Would prefer some cheese in the house

Anything going baa or moo
Would rather have grass to chew

Those with a total bird brain
Get very peckish for grain

Your average chimpanzee
Would prefer a party with tea

A whale seeking his fill
Would seek out some minuscule krill

A donkey or a rabbit
Would see a carrot and grab it

Foxes, wolves and badgers 
Would rather just scratch their nadgers

A noble bird of prey
Only seeks food that’s running away

A panda or a brown bear
Prefers shoots and leaves stocked in its lair

A pony, a horse or a mule
Likes getting its oats as a rule

A domestic hound or a mog
Would be (ahem) sick as a dog

And a dung beetle’s culinary preference
Is too unthinkable to reference

In fact, the animal kingdom as a whole
Wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole 

Which is perfect for humans like me and you
So we can scoff all the chocolate that we do.
