The ode reminds me P.G. Wodehouse's parody, "A Vignette in Verse":

When cares attack and life seems black,

How sweet it is to pot a yak,

Or puncture hares and grizzly bears,

And others I could mention;

But in my Animals "Who's Who"

No name stands higher than the Gnu;

And each new gnu that comes in view

Receives my prompt attention....
