Alligator lifts his homely snout
Bubbles up subaudible allure,
Cats like lions loose a thunder out
Desire is demanded in his roar,
Elk will bugle baritone and yelp,
Females of his herd best known as hinds
Gambol on excited as they help
Him position rutting as they bind.
Indications all of nature’s calls
Jostling to sway a ready ear
Keeping all that flies, swims, walks or crawls
Listening to hear a domineer.
Man however mixes up his song,
New, improved he thinks his subtle cheer
Only thing’s he often gets it wrong
Prancing like a peacock in a mirror,
Questioning an ageless proven fact,
Recalling not that in his hairy head
Substituting for the rack he lacks
The brain that leads the female to his bed.
Unionizing though that organ is,
Visceral must also he consider,
Women will remember it was his
Xiphoid as the last thing he’d admit her.
Yes and if he keeps it there a time
Zowie! seals his love, this silly rhyme

Just thought you should know, I read this three times today...about to hit the road for an out-of-town excursion with these ABC's waltzing through my brain...
