It's bigger than a mouse

An elephant is heavier than me

It's slower than a cheetah or a bee

It's bigger than a mouse

But it's smaller than a house

And you'll never see one sitting in a tree.

A lizard is more handsome than a frog

But it's uglier than many cats and dogs

It's quieter than a bat

And it's thinner than a rat

But you'll never see one going for a jog.

The largest creature in the world's a whale

It has the most enormous head and tail

It blows the highest spout

And it's got the biggest mouth

But you'll never see one going for a sail.
