Lemuricks

#1
My lemur is pure black and white
So can’t hide by day or by night
Some stripes will go
While others still show
My lemur just can’t get it right.
#2
My lemur has rings on her tail
But holds it aloft like a sail
She runs through the trees
Like a boat on the seas
And sheds wakes of leaves in her trail.
