Python on piccolo,
Dingo on drums,
Gannet on gee-tar,
Sits and strums.

Croc on cornet
Goes to town,
Sloth on sitar,
Upside-down.

Toad on tuba,
Sweet and strong,
Crane on clarinet,
Goat on gong.

Charles Causley: adapted from 'Python on Piccolo' from I Had A Little Cat: Collected Poems for Children (Macmillan Children's Books, 2009)
