                Myrtle the Turtle was crossing the road

                  Which needed so much concentration.

                She wanted some petrol to fill up her tank,

                  And had spotted, of course, the Shell Station.

                 

                A lion called Brian was roaring with pain.

                 "Get the doctor" he called to his mummy.

                I ate a comedian for dinner last night,

                  And now my poor tummy feels funny.

                 

                The monkeys are planning a party tonight;

                  They've invited a few local bookies.

                As well as the sandwiches, crisps and the pop,

                  They've ordered some chocolate chimp cookies.

                 

                 A pony called Tony had an awful sore throat;

                  It was painful and hurt him of course.

                The vet sat him down and said "How do you feel?"

                  "I'm feeling a little bit hoarse."

                 

                A poor little frog sat and cried by the stream

                  With a face that was red as a poppy.

                "And why are you crying my poor little friend?"

                  "I'm feeling so very unhoppy".

                 

                And this is the end of these jokes for today.

                  I hope you have found them amusing.

                Perhaps you’ve enjoyed working them out.

                  I hope they were not too confusing!
