The Aardvark and the Zebra




The Aardvark and the Zebra are many poles apart

They're at either ends of the dictionary and nowhere near the heart

But the Aardvark has one advantage and for that he's pretty sure

There ain't no other animal that's gonna come before

While the Zebra seems to be content and knows his proper place

The Aardvark sitting up in front will never interface

I think when God was typing names like dogs and cats and mice

When he got to Ardvark he hit the A key twice

And being Lord Almighty he's never wrong it's said

So now the dear old Aardvark will always stay Aahead.

The Zebra's still a placid beast and never can be goaded

He knows his place he knows his price p'raps thats why he's been

bar-coded.
