If today was an animal…
If today was an animal,
how would you describe it?
It’d be an elephant—
big and grey,
stepping on a twig
and eating a fig.
If today was an animal,
it’d be a pig wearing a wig.
If today was an animal,
it’d be a giant snake
jumping and making quakes.
If today was an animal,
it’d be a herd of birds
laying turds.
If today was an animal,
it’d be a mole
snugged into a hole.
If today was an animal,
it’d be a dog
retrieving a log.
If today was an animal,
it’d be a group of turtles
huddled together,
from the ground that shakes
by the snakes.
If today was an animal,
it’d be a sloth
hugging a cloth.
If today was an animal,
it’d be a big rat
chasing a cat.
If today was an animal,
it’d be an owl
with a great big scowl.
