Some time in the last year I heard on the radio a very funny poem
about a zebra
who "was not like the others" named Spot.  The person reading the poem
had a non-US accent (perhaps British).  I'd love to get the full text
of the poem and
the name of the author.

Hello.

The poem that you heard was "Spot the Zebra" by Les Barker. It's on
Barker's comedy CD "AROVERTHERAPY," available from Picklehed Music.

For more information, visit Picklehead's web page:

Picklehead has a one minute audio clip of "Spot the Zebra" in
RealPlayer format. I listened to the clip and can verify that it
contains the line "Spot was not like the others."

search strategy: "zebra named spot," "spot the zebra"

I hope this helps.

Sorry for the typo. That should have been "Picklehead Music."

Fabulous; near real-time response.  Thanks.
