One of my favorites:

The Turtle by Ogden Nash

The turtle lives 'twixt plated decks
Which practically conceal its sex.
I think it clever of the turtle
In such a fix to be so fertile.

I thought on my oppressors and prayed for justice,
I thought on myself and prayed for mercy.

I also like Nash's animal poems that are titled "The (name of animal)"

The Termite, by Ogden Nash

Some primal termite knocked on wood
And tasted it, and found it good!
And that is why your Cousin May
Fell through the parlor floor today.
