Porcupine Eddie
Is honest and steady
He’s the guard at the hardware store
When the bad guys come in
Eddie pricks them on the shin
And those bad guys aren’t seen any more
Portnoy the skunk
Has a penchant for junk
So he moved to the city dump
He scours the trash
Finds the stuff that’s worth cash
And piles it up in a clump
Millicent the otter
Lives down by the water
Where she likes to go fishing for lunch
She waits in the sun
While the minnows have fun
And then she scoops up the whole bunch
Bexley the possum
Picked a bright yellow blossom
And brought it to his girlfriend-to-be
She said it smelled sweet
And was tasty to eat
“But you’re not the right possum for me”
Melvin the fox
Enjoys bagels and lox
In his spare time he reads Arthur Miller
He goes to the show
To see Marilyn Monroe
Melvin hopes she’ll soon star in a thriller
Alvin the mink
Makes a very big stink
If he gobbles too many baked beans
His friends move away
Or get out perfumed spray
They’re tired of his stinky routines
Gertrude the turtle
Wears a very tight girdle
To flatten the bulge in her tummy
It’s not that she’s vain
Or has water on her brain
She’s annoyed when they think she’s a mummy
Rex the raccoon
Lives behind the saloon
Where he sniffs empty six-packs of beer
At first he is dizzy
Then gets in a tizzy
And eventually falls flat on his rear
Edna the weasel
Loves to paint on her easel
She does sunsets and still lifes and faces
Most weasels are artistic
And tend toward the mystic
Sweet Edna has so many graces
