Don't Cross a Zebra --- a bit of English Nonsense.

Don’t cross a zebra in a huff

Don’t cross the road said Zebra in a huff
I’m fed up with Pelicans; I’ve had enough
And as for you, Green Man: what gives you the right
To come along and tamper with that traffic light?

I’ve had it with long-coated lollypop gals
Who treat all the cross folk like long lost pals
Those nattering mums who gather in packs
And can’t see the cars for the bicycle racks

If two can cross Toucans, I really don’t know
Why they also need Puffins to help with the slow
The Pegasus (or ludicrous) who think they are so chivalrous
Invented for equestrians or horseyish pedestrians

I would like to know if it’s too much to ask
why a Zebra and Beacon aren’t up to the task?
You two-legged humans who think you’re so tough
Should never cross a Zebra when he’s in a huff


NB:  Beware:  the road crossings in England have strange names!
