Inspired by ‘The Owl and the Pussycat’ by Edward Lear. The giraffe and the anteater went on the road In a purple painted camper van. They took a packed lunch and nibbles to munch And maybe fry something up in their pan. Around about one, they stopped in a field And the giraffe spread out their rug They ate three sandwiches each, a banana and a peach And drank their tea from a small tin mug, tin mug, drank their tea from a small tin mug. The anteater decided to have a snooze And the giraffe read his favourite book But when the sky turned grey, they thought they’d better not stay ‘Cause they’d left their umbrella at home on its hook. They jumped in the van and drove away The anteater said, “Where shall we go? Somewhere indoors. I don’t want muddy paws,” Giraffe pondered then said, “I know!” I know, the giraffe then said, “I know!” So the giraffe drove them straight to a bowling alley And after they’d both changed their shoes They heard a loud voice say, “There’s a contest on today! With a prize you wouldn’t want to lose!” The giraffe bowled first and knocked down five pins Then the anteater knocked down seven. The opposing pair, a frog and a hare Between them knocked down eleven, eleven, between them they knocked down eleven. The next team to beat was a sheep and a camel And the giraffe knocked over eight pins. Then the sheep got four, the anteater got one more Then the camel missed and knocked down a bin. Now there was only one team left to beat, A crocodile and a small trout. The croc went first but did the worst ‘Cause not a single pin was bowled out, bowled out, not a single pin was bowled out. The giraffe bowled second and knocked down two Then it was the small trout’s go. He stood up tall and hurled that ball But then started shouting “Oh no!” The small trout’s ball hit the lane with a thud Then started heading the wrong way The trout looked bereft but then it veered to the left And he scored the first ‘Strike’ of the day, the day, he scored the first strike of the day. The last one to bowl was the anteater, And she stepped up with the ball in her paw Then stooped down low and bowled her ball slow She couldn’t watch but the others looked on in awe. The anteater kept her eyes tight shut But the giraffe was much braver than she. The ball first went straight but swerved left late And she scored a winning Strike for all to see, to see, a winning strike for all to see. The whole of the crowd at the bowling alley Erupted into thunderous applause. They all clapped and cheered then the judge appeared And said, “Congrats! Yours are the highest scores!” The giraffe and the anteater were ever so pleased To have won a fancy dinner date! The anteater blushed and off they rushed ‘Cause they didn’t want to be late, be late, they didn’t want to be late. Their dinner date was at a restaurant in town, Where the giraffe had never been. “I hope they serve fruit! Should I be wearing a suit?” “No! You’re the smartest giraffe I’ve ever seen!” The giraffe and the anteater had a wonderful meal Then pineapple and mango brûlée. After they’d done, they carried on with their fun And danced the whole night away, away, they danced the whole night away. The end
