Ryan the Ridiculous Rhinoceros's Thunderous Gold Rush

Ryan the Ridiculous Rhinoceros stamped his feet in the sand

He kicked up quite a dust storm and on his bum did land !

As he hit the floor, he dug some more...

Some gold appeared by the score

"I'm rich ! I'm rich !", Ryan cried out...

Starting to stomp and dance about !

Harry the hippopotamus came to see what was all the fuss...

Another twelve animals arrived on the bus !

A snake hissed along across the ground

A few elephants also started to pound

A monkey or two flew in through the trees,

Some vultures blew in on a windy breeze !

It was no surprise, they all wanted some gold....

Down the bank of the river the crocodiles rolled

The cheetah brought a spade......you wouldn't believe the size of the hole he made !

The mole joined in too (with the rest of the zoo !)

Before long, he'd dug a tunnel just like new

As they all went under............there was the sound of thunder

The sight of the dazzling ore was quite a wonder

Gold nuggets burst forth....

A million dollars they must have been worth !

The animals all filled up their pockets...

Along with necklaces, rings and golden lockets !
