Red Panda: Animal Poem #1

This is Elizabeth's favorite animal...

-----------------------------------------------------

She said that a red panda
Came by our store today
But what she came to buy
The lady could not say

She said that the red panda
Was speaking in red panda
And that she could not understand
A word of the red panda!

So I asked her what she looked like
And this was her reply
That the beauty of the red panda
Made her the cutest animal alive!

She said imagine a raccoon
That was the color of a fox
But as beautiful as the full moon
With black fur for all her stockings!

With a body of fur red
With the exception of her head
Which had a mask of alabaster
And white ears to contrast the red

And a face that was so cute
That it almost made her faint
Imagine an animal so beautiful
That she thought she were a saint!

So after the red panda left
She said she called the zoo
Who said they were confused
Because red pandas eat bamboo

But she told them of her tale
And how we sell just shoes
And they thought of a red panda’s tail
And that we sell striped shoes

So since that day we’ve manned
The cash register with Amanda
And we only hired her because
She said she speaks red panda!

So if you are a red panda
Please come to buy our shoes
Because although we didn’t understand you
We are now grand fans of you!
