Rhyme Scheme: ABA CCC DDD EEE| In moving slow he has no Peer | A |
| You ask him something in his Ear | B |
| He thinks about it for a Year | A |

| And then before he says a Word | C |
| There upside down unlike a Bird | C |
| He will assume that you have Heard | C |

| A most Ex as per at ing Lug | D |
| But should you call his manner Smug | D |
| He'll sigh and give his Branch a Hug | D |

| Then off again to Sleep he goes | E |
| Still swaying gently by his Toes | E |
| And you just know he knows he knows | E |
