Mixing Metaphors

When the ass horsed around

The horse acted a total ass

The crow spotted them with her eagle eyes

And the eagle crowed about it all day long

While the dog-tired pig slept for hours

He didn't see the dog pigging out on his dinner (hogging it all)

The ape was such a cheeky monkey

That the monkey attempted to ape her

The duck just swanned off, unimpressed

Causing the swan to duck out of the way

Until the chicken declared “It’s time to man up!”

But the man did nothing...

Because he was far too chicken
