Butrfly's Wonderings

Talk to the Animals

If we could talk to the animals, just imagine it
Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger, chatting to a cheetah
What a neat achievement that would be

If we could talk to the animals, learn their languages
Maybe take an animal degree
We'd study elephant and eagle, buffalo and beagle
Alligator, guinea pig, and flea

We would converse in polar bear and python
And we could curse in fluent kangaroo
If people asked us, "Can you speak in rhinoceros?"
We'd say, "Of courserous, can't you?"

If we conferred with our furry friends, man to animal
Think of all the things we could discuss
If we could walk with the animals, talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk with the animals
And they could squeak and squawk and speak and talk to us

Made another friend while out on my walk this morning. He was quacking his head off at me as I walked by so I stopped to exchange quacks with him. At one point he was even nibbling at my toes in my sandals.
He followed me all the way home so I went upstairs to fetch some birdseed for him. There's a broken sprinkler pipe in the carport that has created a mini pond. My webbed friend made himself at home there. He has a band around his ankle so he must be domesticated. I'm thinking about calling him "Aflac" and me Ms. Doolittle.
