It Is A Sassy Manatee In The School Yard

No, it's not a fat penguin Rhinoceros does not go to school Frankly, that would have been very cool Yes, it's a manatee walking in the rain. She's like a crawling sea lion A live bully who's pirouetting Telling the truth is gratifying It's like having a whale of fun. Oh! No. A walrus is running things Bring the whistles and the fake rings Our children deserve better. Invite the hippopotamus of Roma To serve at the Christmas gala As per the advice of the administrator.
