Animals (poem)

Animals.

I wanna be an iguana, I want to be a cat
I want to be cute and furry, and get fed until I'm fat
I want to be a seagull, I want to be able to fly
I want to steal people's food, and make exasperated parents cry

I'd love to dance with dolphins, I'd love to swim in the sea
I'd love to live in the great blue beyond, although seafood just isn't for me

If I'm as horny as a bull, I'd like to be as simple as a sheep
I'd like to roll around in hay, and be a pet that posh people keep
It would be cool to be a jellyfish, and live without a brain
It would be chilling to be toad, and love it when it rains

And if being Turritopsis Dohrnii doesn't sound very clever
Realise that you'd be immortal, and be able to live forever
But now in the present, we're stuck with humanity
So just rejoice being homo sapiens, and the wonders of being you and me.

*Turritopsis Dohrnii is a jellyfish which has some form of immortality.
