The Morning Report

Good morning, sire!
Good morning, Zazu!
Checking in with the morning report.
Fire away!

Chimps are going ape, giraffe remain above it all.
Elephants remember, though just what I can't recall.
Crocodiles are snapping up fresh offers from the banks.
Showed interest in my nest egg, but I quickly said "no, thanks!"
We haven't paid the horn bills, and the vultures have a hunch.
Not everyone invited will be coming back from lunch!

This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report!

Oh, the buffalo have got a beef about the season's grass.
Warthogs have been thwarted in attempts to save their gas.
Flamingoes in the pink and chasing secretary birds.
Saffron is this season's color, seen in all the herds!
Moving down the rank and file, to near the botton rung:
Far too many beetles are, quite frankly, in the dung.

- Awk! -

This is the morning report
Gives you the long and the short
Every grunt, roar and snort
Not a tale I distort
On the morning report!
