Atticus the Zoorble

In a faraway place
Admist sparkling stars
in that vacuum of space
Is a planet called Zars

Zars is a land
Wherethe Zoorbles do roam
Bemeath bright colored planets
to them it is home

The zoorbles are special,
From their horns to their toes
they're covered with specles
From their feet to theor nose

And these Zoorbles ar proud
Oh yez, proud indeed
With their six legs and horns
And their dominance of speed

Now Atticus Zoorble,
He stood out a lot
He really was different,
he had not one spot.

His mane was quite wild,
It could not be tamed
His legs counted seven
Sohe walked as thoigh lamed

Every year on the eve
Of Zoorble-Hoorble Day,
The zoorbles traveled
Down the Woorble way

All except Atticus
Who was seen with disdain
Because he was different,
He was told to remain

So as they all left
He sat there and cried
He was more than appearance,
He was like them inside

Whe grazing alone
In his deep reverie
He heard a great shriek
It was not one of glee

He lifted his head
and pondered the noise
then went at a trot
Towards the forest of Zoise

Now the forest of Zoise
Had the mud hole of Gif
On the slippery path
To Ziffer van Dif

And the forest of Zoise
Sat on Woorble Way
And the mud he of Zif
Caught Zoorbles that day

Zoorbles who struggled
And wiggled and called
For the help of another
as their journey was stalled

Now Atticus saw them
And hurried with speed
Hoping he could give them
The help they did need

Those Zoorble saw him
And cried out in glee
For Atticus had come
To set them all free

Mattered not did his stripes
His mane, leg, nor horn
He got them all out
No more did they scorn

They thought him a hero
And said just as much
They gave him the trophy
Of Zimmer van Dutch

So that is the story
Of Atticus the Zoorble
Who saved his new friends
From something so horrible
