CAREY BLYTON - BANANAS IN PYJAMAS - 'The Axolotl' written in 1972.

You never should attempt to put
A quart size axolotl,
Into an empty plastic bag
Or in a pint size botl.

It's sure to kick up quite a fuss
And strugl quite a lotl,
And if its bulbous neck gets stuck
Your axolot'l throtl.

But keep it in a nice dark place,
And to its fancies pander;
Then given time and lots of food
You'll get  -  a salamander!
