 Plural Propriety - LP Zoo

What's the plural of dwarf mongoose?

Inquiring minds do need to know.

Mongooses  rates most proper use,

Though mongeese too is good to go.

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo

There's a dwarf mongoose colony,

Thinking humans make much ado

About calling them properly.

When the humans have this debate

Each dwarf mongoose just tunes them out,

And goes into a dreamlike state,

Dreaming of better things no doubt.

What to call a dwarf mongoose bunch?

Just call them when it's time for lunch.
