I’m Your Animal
By Larry Chadwick


If I were a rooster,
I’d have something to crow about.
If I were a bull,
I’d have something to snort about.

If I were a cat,
I’d have something to meow about.
If I were a dog,
I’d have something to bark about.

If I were a duck,
I’d have something to quack about.
If I were a goose,
I’d have something to honk about.

If I were a pig,
I’d have something to oink about.
If I were a lamb,
I’d have something to baa about.

If I were a donkey,
I’d have something to bray about.
If I were a horse,
I’d have something to whinny about.

If I were a bird,
I’d have something to tweet about.
If I were a bee,
I’d have something to buzz about.

If I were a hyena,
I’d have something to laugh about.
If I were a lion,
I’d have something to roar about.

But I’m not,
So I have none of those voices to use.
Since I’m a man,
I’ll just say I LOVE YOU!

April 8, 2002

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart

Real men don't mix their words, unlike some animals I've heard before.

And that makes me...what? Thanks.

Lyra,
Thanks a bunch. I do believe you are qualified to recognize romantic so that must make it official.

It means, you don't mix your fuel,
you went and put the whole tiger in her tank.

ROTFLMAO at some of the replies here. And just what would you show
if you were a crow?

Well, I guess that'll have to do. Thanks. Can't beat cooperation like that.
