Rhymey and Bymey
Here’s to all creatures:
the meekly or mighty;
the bigly or smally
or purry or bitey;
the furry or patchy
or darkly or paley;
the itchy or scratchy
or smoothly or scaley;
the creepy or crawly
or swimmy or flighty;
the springy or fally
or sunny or nighty;
the roary or barky
or singy or mimey!
This verse, rather silly,
is rhymey and byme.
the meekly or mighty;
the bigly or smally
or purry or bitey;
the furry or patchy
or darkly or paley;
the itchy or scratchy
or smoothly or scaley;
the creepy or crawly
or swimmy or flighty;
the springy or fally
or sunny or nighty;
the roary or barky
or singy or mimey!
This verse, rather silly,
is rhymey and byme.
