Two very groanworthy poems

I've just written a pair of punilicious poems guaranteed to garner some groans! Here you go:

Counting on Me 

I counted a sequence

from One onto Two,

then Three, Four and Five

came up next in the queue. 

Six, Seven and Eight

followed up on the list

then I hit upon Nine,

but the next one I missed.

The digits accrued

reached their limit somehow;

my tallying skills

are unTenable now.

Boo Hoo Zoo 

I went to the zoo

and I saw a baboon, 

a lion, a tiger,

a skunk and raccoon. 

I saw a giraffe

and a penguin on ice

but my trips to this place

are no longer so nice:

there wasn’t a grizzly

or polar in sight,

and that is why mine’s

an unbearable plight
