There once was a dog who wanted to go to the zoo.
But on his paw, there was some goo.
The goo made him cry, and he went, Boohoo.
Then, he decided he would try something new.
He called for a cow, and the cow went, Moo.
Then he told the cow to lick off the goo.
No. Said the cow, It's almost past two.
I have to get home because there's food to chew.
So the cow left the dog, who was now feeling blue.
For there seemed no way to remove the goo.
The dog continued to try and pursue
A way that he could remove the goo.
He called for a shrew,
And as if on cue,
The shrew came and said, What's wrong with you?
Do you seriously think I'd lick off some goo?
So the shrew left, and the dog thought of something new.
He called for a gnu,
From the land of Peru,
Who took one look at the view,
And said, Achoo!
For the Gnu was allergic to the goo.
Out of ideas and feeling more blue,
He thought and thought but didn't know what to do.
Then the dog, what to do, he knew.
He decided to just go to the zoo.
