The Zebra is an unusual beast, neither donkey nor horse with defining black and white stripes.
Z was a Zebra,
All striped black and white;
And if he were tame,
You might ride on his back,
Pretty striped Zebra.
(Edward Lear).
Song of the South.
Zip-a-dee-do-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay,
My oh my, what a wonderful day,
Plenty of sunshine heading my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, Zip-a-dee-ay.
Uncle Remus sang this joyful song in the animated movie by Walt Disney called Song of the South, He was a shy, kindly old freeman of South African American origin. He used to serve as a story teller, passing on old folk tales to children gathered around him.
