What is the plural?
No one for spelling at a loss is
Who boldly spells Rhinocerosses.
I've known a few (I can't say lots)
Who called the beasts Rhinocerots.
Though they are not so bad (O fie!)
As those who pay Rhinoceri.
One I have heard (O holy Moses)
Who plainly said Rhinoceroses.
While possibly a Fourth-Form Boy
Might venture on Rhinoceroi
The moral that I draw from these is
The plural's what one damn well pleases.
