Day 256: Capybara

Capybara
By Batsheva 7/14/10

Rodents are animals
That include mice
Guinea pigs, hamsters, and
Gerbils are nice
Rats, voles, and muskrats
Chipmunks and squirrels
Are some of rodentia's
Most interesting pearls
Porcupines, ground hogs
Prairie dogs, beavers
Could be called
Rodent over-achievers
But the champion rodent
None larger, none fairer
Is the handsome, majestic,
And sweet capybara
They grow to a size
Near as big as a pig
Though capys are cleaner
'Cause swimming, they dig
Their hair can be prickly
But people don't mind
Since a more unique house pet
You never will find
So if you have land
Where capys can play
And a nice spot to swim
In the heat of the day
Get a capybara
They're loving and fun
The world's greatest rodent
Is second to none!
