PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Time to kick it up a notch 

A group of nightingales is a watch

This is surely not a joke 

A group of oxen is a yoke

Don't try to hug them, it won't tickle

A group of porcupines is a prickle

They don't weigh much, they're not heavy
You call a group of quails a bevy

I could stare at them for days

A group of raccoons is a gaze

Don't sit next to them on the bench

You call a group of skunks a stench

They don't care if you like it or not 

A group of toads is called a knot

Did I know there's a Ulysses butterfly? Nope

You know what you call a group of them? A kaleidoscope

I wouldn't choose what they would on the menu 

A group of vultures is called a venue

Do they get down? Is that what's meant?

A group of woodpeckers is a descent

A xerus is an African ground squirrel, it must be in a hurry

A group of them is called a scurry

If either a yak or squirrel is charging me, a squirrel is preferred

Though I read yaks are friendly, a group is called a herd

And finally, it's my pleasure to reveal

If you see a group of zebras, you're looking at a zeal
