A QUADRUPEDREMIAN SONG by THOMAS HOOD

Poet Analysis

First Line: HE DREAMT THAT HE SAW THE BUFFALANT
Last Line: CAME OF EATING TOO FREELY OF CAKE.
Subject(s): MONSTERS;
He dreamt that he saw the Buffalant,
And the spottified Dromedaraffe,
The blue Camelotamus, lean and gaunt,
And the wild Tigeroceros calf.
The maned Liodillo loudly roared,
And the Peccarbok whistled its whine,
The Chinchayak leapt on the dewy sward,
As it hunted the pale Baboopine.
He dreamt that he met the Crocoghau,
As it swam in the Stagnolent Lake;
But everything that in dreams he saw
Came of eating too freely of cake.
