The Magic Potion

To make this magic potion we need Alligator skin,

a Bumble bee, a black Cat’s miaow, some Dog food from a tin.

Please fetch an Egg, a Flea’s left leg, the horn from a Gnu,

and don’t forget the Hippo’s tongue, a dash of pepper too!

Dice an Inchworm, mix it with a smelly Jellied eel!

Grate a whole Koala bear and add some Lemon peel!

Then we’ll need a Micro-frog, a Nanny-goat, an Owl.

Fry them with a pixie’s ear, a Platypus’ scowl.

Thinly slice a Quagga’s stripe and boil a black-Rat’s squeak.

Stir it all together with a Swan’s bright orange beak!

Next we add the Tiger’s tooth with wing of Vampire bat,

a Wombat hair, an X-ray fish, a Yard ant’s bowler hat.

Last we pour in Zebra juice. That’s it, the potion’s done.

I think I’ll have a taste right now, the witching hour’s begun!

But wait, there’s something missing! Something quite important too!

Ah yes, that’s it! Oh, silly me, the missing thing is U!
