"I'm great," the Lion said --"I reign The monarch of the wood and plain!
The Elephant replied: "I'm great -- No quadruped can match my weight!"
"I'm great --no animal has half so long a neck!" said the Giraffe.
"I'm great," the Kangaroo said --"see My femoral muscularity!"
The 'Possum said: "I'm great --behold, My tail is lithe and bald and cold!"
An Oyster fried was understood To say: "I'm great because I'm good!"

So, everybody is great in their way, isn't it?
