We sat joyfully in a safari jeep,
It started with a shake and a beep.
As we started to stroll in the jungle,
There we heard a noisy rumble.
There came out a handsome giraffe,
And from behind it came out his calf.
We gazed at a herd of elephants elephing around,
Their grey bodies big, fat, and round.
Next, we spotted some chattering chimpanzees,
Rustling the leaves and swinging through trees.
Lastly, we saw a lion, the king of the beasts,
Who likes to gobble people up for a feast.
Finally, it was late and we had to leave –
We said goodbye to our guide Steve.
