Champion Chompers, Super Stinkers and Other Poems by Extraordinary Animals
Calling all contestants Think you're tops The most The best Are you bigger taller faster smaller STRONGER than the rest We have ways to test and measure Speed endurance skills and size Who's the winner Let's get started Time to see who takes first prize
EAT MY DUST I'm designed for lightning speed Just look at this physique Limber spine Impressive stride m long and strong and sleek SO you think you'd beat me in a race Well here's a hint Make sure that it's a marathon You'll never win a sprint
BEST Short Distance Runner Cheetah With their lean bodies long stride and sharp claws for traction cheetahs are designed to be fast In fact they're the fastest animal on land When chasing prey they can exceed speeds of 110 km 70 mi per hour about the rate of cars on a highway But using so much energy takes its toll Cheetahs wear out quickly and need time to rest before they eat their meal or try again their hunt is successful only about half the time
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN When you're seen as someone's dinner It's risky to be slow But I can outrun anyone Just watch me Ready GO Certain cats are quicker They're good for one short burst But when the race is longer I will always come in first
