There once was a man
Who preferred to wear fur
(He said it kept him warmer.)

Who thought, 'The whales should save themselves'
And looked for 'dolphin unfriendly' tuna
On the Supermarket shelves.
(He claims that he wishes his pockets were a little bit deeper,
and this way works out to be considerably cheaper.)

Who kept dogs for experiments locked up in cellsrs
And elephant's feet well stocked with umbrellas.

A wildlife philanderer
A 'I couldn't really care less, about the tiger's lack of evolutionary success or the diminishing numbers of the Giant panda...'
Er...

And he always looked at me as if I was a little bit strange. When I insist upon my chicken being free-range.

And it was decided that his living of life
Was far too cruel
So some of the boys are going to give him a call
To sing 'All things bright and beautiful...'

Simon,

That's "the boys" for you. I have an idea that the "man" will be singing right along, but with a different tune.

Many points to ponder. I do believe in karma and "what goes around" ~ comes around.

The closing line was very effective and actually gave me goosebumps!

"So some of the boys are going to give him a call
To sing 'All things bright and beautiful...'" ~ Perfect!
