Synopsis
Welcome to my silly dilly
take on ABC
It's lots of fun and really odd,
as you will quickly see
For they're no "leaping lizards" here
No "bears that bounce a ball"
In fact, these zany critters have
never been seen at all
So turn the page and cast a gaze
on this menagerie,
but don't forget the beasts within
were all made up by me
-- Tiny DiTerlooney
