In the wild savannah, so free and so wide,
There live many creatures, with stripes and with pride,
And one of them, a zebra, so beautiful and sleek,
With a coat so thick, it's hard to even speak.

Kids love to see them, with their black and white stripes,
As they roam through the grasslands, with grace and with might.
And when they gather, in a group they call a herd,
They stick together, and never say a word.

But this zebra is special, with a coat like no other,
It shines in the sunlight, with a glow like a lover.
And they love to watch it, as it trots and it prances,
This zebra is a sight, one that entrances.

So if you see one, don't be shy or afraid,
Just stand there and watch it, as it walks through the glade.
For there's nothing more wondrous, than the beauty of this,
A zebra so stunning, it's hard to miss.
