An Ode to Shakespeare

Oh Shakespeare, Oh Shakespeare

You are so brave tis true

We have never forgotten you

You saved Mitch your dear brother

you brought him back safe

to his mother

You fought with an old nasty snake

and was bitten

Oh my goodness our poor Shakes

As the night went on

we thought in the morning

you would be gone

The morning came

and you were still around

our hearts were abound

Dear sisters Mozart and Tosca stayed by you

when you were feeling rotten

and so blue

You were so weak

how long would you last?

perhaps a week?

alas!

You would die from hunger

if you didn't get food

oh what would you do?

So slowly you drug your poor litttle leg

in hopes of finding

some turtle eggs

You would settle for some bugs

and hoped to find a few

to carry you through

At last you found something to eat

foraging in this

dreadful desert heat

As the days went by

you began to get better

Our heart were so light

just like a feather

To those adorable little pups

you were a grand little sitter

and never complained

or was bitter

We all thought the day

the Lazuli came calling

that Big Sy was after you

while we were bawling

With our hearts filled with dread

we watched season two

all they said

you were presumed dead

We found out later

that it wasn't you

Big Sy was after

our hearts weren't so blue

We still don't know what really happened

we hope to know soon

our beloved Shakespeare

we are so missing you

It could be you just went out

found a lady meerkat

to see what love was all about

Maybe you are the dominant male

with a grand little lady

your dominant female

Oh Shakespeare Dear Shakespeare

wherever you may roam

we hope you are alive and well

in your new home

If you are alive

oh please let us know

we miss you so much

on the Meerkat Manor show

An Ode to Tosca

Oh Tosca oh Tosca

you sweet little dear

you left our eyes

filled with tears

The day you left us

we all cried

we're still hoping

that you're alive

We remember

the good things you did

like feeding Flower's

hungry little kids

You comforted Shakespeare

after his snake attack

and stayed by him

wherever he was at

A dominat female

you thought you would be

but it wouldn't work

for thee

You made a move so bold

but was soon put out

lonely and cold

No one to help you

get rid of those ticks and fleas

no one to hear

your desperate pleas

We watched as you roamed

and hoped that your family

would welcome you home

Then Carlos a rovering little male

came along and saw

a pretty female

At last we thought things

would work out right

but in season two

you were no where in sight

How we long to see

your sweet face

and give you sweetheart

a warm embrace

Oh how I long

to see you in view

I know that others

are waiting too

Let's hope things are well

wherever you are

you bright and twinkling

little star
