The Elusive New Zoo Gnu Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAA A AAAAAAAAAThey had a new gnu at the Zoo | A |
And nobody knew | A |
Tho' the keeper they say had a clue | A |
And that's probably true | A |
Since he knew a new gnu was due | A |
And well he knew too | A |
That the mother would hide it from view | A |
As a natural gnu | A |
Will do | A |
- | |
For the instinct innate in the gnu | A |
Known only to few | A |
Is to hide a new gnu lest it rue | A |
What ill doers do | A |
Why should nature we wonder imbue | A |
A beast like a gnu | A |
With such caution This fact hitherto | A |
Few knew to be true | A |
Did you | A |
- | |
But they've found it at last at rhe Zoo | A |
Such a shy little gnu | A |
White of tail and the coat that it grew | A |
Of indefinite hue | A |
And now I suppose a long queue | A |
Will be waiting to view | A |
This nice little new Zoo gnu | A |
Such sights ever drew | A |
Quite a crew | A |
- | |
But who knew the new gnu at the Zoo | A |
For the first day or two | A |
Who guessed where 'twas hidden and who | A |
As new rumors flew | A |
Ever thought ever dreamed ever drew | A |
Some vague hint or grew | A |
Suspicious Where was he Who knew | A |
Not the crane not the white cockatoo | A |
Who ejaculates 'How do you do ' | - |
Not the apes all emblazoned in blue | A |
Not the owl with his dreary 'Too woo ' | - |
Nor tapir nor tiger who slew | A |
His prey 'mid the ginat bamboo | A |
Once back of Bengal in Kooloo | A |
Not elephant not kangaroo | A |
None knew none knew | A |
Not aman not a beast in the Zoo | A |
From its hub to its furthrest purlieu | A |
But the new gnu knew | A |
Too true | A |
