You’ve seen armadillos, herds of hippopotami,
Kangaroos, nudibranchs, lyrebirds, and platypi.
But no beasts anywhere are anywhere near as fabulous
As the fauna to be found in Kambingo-Durambulus.
Come for a safari, say the friendly Kambingans,
But be very careful about what you’re bringing.
Before your Kambingo Air flight’s in the air
Make sure you pack this Kodak EasyShare.

Look! The rare gnuffle-bird, tending his nest!
12-megapixel photos bring out his best.
It’s a rubber rhinoceros. See how he bends?
Zoom right on in with your Variogon lens.
The nine-legged snake, such a sight to see
You won’t want to trust it to your memory.
The mighty gorilla-fish, a curious mixture -
Wait ‘till the folks back home see your pictures.

When the sun sets each night down Durambulus way
A mysterious ritual takes your breath away.
A flock of lula-kulas with many-colored feathers
Make a gigantic picture as they all sleep together.
Some nights they do Rembrandt, sometimes they do Weegee,
Sometimes a cave painting from the island of Fiji.
Keep a steady hand because it would be a real shame
If this spectacular spectacle was lost out-of-frame.

And what of the running of the two-headed buffabouth,
Who run north to the north, then south to the south?
Video of these creatures zigzagging would be swell.
Good thing this camera shoots HD video as well.
Animals like these ones you don’t see every day
Unless you’ve got your own photos of them tucked away.
All you need is a t-shirt, a trusty local guide,
And of course the Kodak Z-one-two-seven-five!
