Image: Made to Live like Humans (here)
the 11 of 12 given words:
dig bear dulls earth prosper spirit
sacred years writing act breath
I don't dig this
I just can't bear it
It dulls my mind
We belong in the wilds
Why on earth is the bother
We need to prosper
That was the contention
But shoving us to be with humans
is not the spirit
We belong in the wilds
I'll say it again
It is sacred!
At least provide a wild environment
Like the Sea World where we were for years
The writing was on the wall
We were supposed to be progressive
To interact more with humans
To live like humans
To eventually take over the human race
We are expected to rule the world
We are allowed to take on a couple of humans as pets
Just as how they have been doing to us
Come to think of it
That is not a bad idea
Yes, that will be fun
Now I can breath easy
That will be the day!

Fun, and too true.
LOL. They can use humans as yard ornaments, as we do with them. This made me smile, Hank.
ReplyDeleteThat will be the day, indeed.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I always knew flamingos were whispering and gossiping about something. ;-D
This reminded me of when I stayed in Las Vegas we stayed at the "Flamingo Hotel" quite a few of them in the grounds.
ReplyDeleteGreat verse Hank.
