How lucky it was to have finally arrived
A long walk across the deep lake waters
Watched intensely by an elephant in the sky
Not given any quarters holding the diapers
But made good an escape from the moon

Thirst quenched drinking sands of the desert
Skipping over the sun in the still of the night
Observed crocodiles on the stage in a concert
Satisfied with all the snows on the pyramids
But made good an escape from the moon

Trailing behind the tortoise around the bend
A polar bear astride a camel under the sun’s heat
Lions turned vegetarian with gazelles as friends
Never a bother for pizza or any kind of meat
But made good an escape from the moon

Note: Not really sure whom am I kidding!
Hopefully this fits the bill

  1. ha. well it came out fun, so....the last bit on lions turning vegeterian, the world might just be upside down at that point...the moon might be the best place

  3. Love those little snippets of wisdom coming together.. to quench thirst by drinking sand sounds painful... (and sad in a way).

  12. A polar bear on a camel..that would be a sad day as the bear might get a bit thirsty in the desert land.

  15. So much fun in this from the singing crocodiles (or so i imagine) to the vegetarian lions. Love the polar bear riding the camel--global warming at its most extreme. Great stuff. Thank you.
