Dragonflies romanticising termites teasing
Magnifying
Analysing
Gratifying seedlings
.
The satsumas were strewn across tangerine dreams
I assume they were there to declare fruitful reap
Mangos danced tangos in hearty fandango
So far from home yet only halfway from canto
The cantaloupes sloped to provoke finger limes
Leaving clementines the hosts with most to prize

Wildflowers showered affectionate petals
That kissed to tell tall tales of petulant nettles
.
Ladybugs hugged the tall grass as they passed over cloverleaves briefly to please
.
Mother nature nurtured every wildflower foreseen
Empowered planet earth to intervene
And while her methods may have been a little bit extreme
She certainly knew how to throw a party
.

The centipedes eventually remembered where they’re meant to be
Suggestively the millipedes agreed
.
The camel with the hammer toe made no attempt to hide
The razzle known to dazzle in its independent stride
.
The ostriches were furious
And curiously keen to go full emu on the lemurs while the harmless llamas leaned
.
Drunken monkeys hung from trees
Poking fun at summer breeze
Bums on seats a stunning feat
With two left feet and tongue in cheek
.
Mother nature nurtured every wildflower foreseen
Empowered planet earth to intervene
And while her methods may have been a little bit extreme
She certainly knew how to throw a party
.
Baffled were the badgers
While the beavers deemed it heedless choking gophers unbeknownst to nosey beaks
.
Harmless llamas
In pyjamas
Daft bananas
Charming Dahmers
.
Otter hockey
Jabberwocky
Drunken monkeys
Sunken flunkies
Alpacas
And all other shelf stackers
.
There’s a yak out back waxing backs cracks and sacks
While combat wombats launch counter-attacks
.
The punch drunk skunks are clutching their junk
While the ferrets inherit a pheasant to clutch
.
There are terrapins developing a crush for blushing elephants
Touching up the skunks and the infernal funk is evident
.
There’s a piglet in the twiglets with a thing for twitching cygnets
.
Mother nature nurtured every wildflower foreseen
Empowered planet earth to intervene
And while her methods may have been a little bit extreme
She certainly knew how to throw a party
