Upon arrival,~ he greeted

Me warmly, for what else

Could he do; ' For he lived in the deepest part; .Of the deepest part

Of a typical tropical zoo

He offered me a chair > - That Was lined with monkey-hair

And had half-a—ribcage

As a backing .

Then he showed me a couch

Made of jaguar in a crouch

But I decided on

The monkey-hair chair

v' Then he showed me the best

In rhinoceros chest . That he said he had ever seen Then he showed. me sane rugs Made of thousands of slugs . " Andat that, 'I woke up fran my dream
