Does a crocodile know it’s a Monday morning?
When the giraffe lopes lazily around
Does that sinking feeling abound
The one we have when Monday’s dawning?
Do llamas have money troubles?
Can there be tigers overdrawn,
Or hard-up deer and fawn
Placing desperate each-way doubles?
Do hippos go for woodland walks?
And what do lions do for leisure,
Eat low-fat or just for pleasure
Attend seminars and talks?
Do zebras have political debate
Watch their own version of ‘Question Time’
To discuss stripy issues and crime
Or is it on too late?
Is it just us humans who have fashion whims?
Do camels wear low-slung trousers
Dangly jewellery and flowery blouses
Wear designer trunks when going for swims?
As David Attenborough once famously opined
Animals wouldn’t be bereft
If all the humans got up and left
They’d get on without us just fine.
