Poetry Monday :: Stuffed Animals

Poetry Monday is hosted by Diane, and she and Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings are always posting wonderful, funny, thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and read them!
  Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month!
  SpikesBestMate often publishes a nice verse in the comments.
  Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey is on a blog break. Her inspiring poetry is sorely missed, we hope she comes back soon.

Todays theme was Stuffed Animals ~ which I misunderstood to mean Stuffy Animals.
So Stuffy Animals is what you'll get today
.

Serious, self-conscious bears
sitting in a row.
Giraffes with haughty airs
feeling in the know.
Penguins poised with lordly mien
on a berg of ice.
Cats with whiskers sleek and clean
not a single mice.
Puffed up puffins on a shelf
with their cheeky beak.
And a wedge of snooty geese
flying cheek to cheek.

Everywhere I look and seek
haughty beasts abound.
Now I wonder if this week
kinder ones are found?

Happy, waggy-tailed dogs
waiting by the door.
Carefree, playing, jumping frogs
always there are more.
Kangaroos in laid-back pose
envy them I do.
Now I'm humming "Mairzy Doats"
every where I go.

Next Mondays theme is: Get lost ... is than an order, I wonder ... then I can't write here
