Have you ever stopped to consider
how incredibly wild it would be,
if humans were born with four legs, not two,
and certainly not with three?
A coat of wool and a swishy tail,
a horn or two on your head,
great for running around in the fields,
but uncomfortable in bed.
A snout's ideal for sausage and mash,
sharp teeth for fish and chips,
a trunk for squeezing orange juice,
and getting rid of the pips.
Gills for swimming and wings to fly,
wide jaws like an alligator,
skin as thick as rhinoceros hide,
for living at the Equator.
To see this most peculiar sight,
the animals would queue all night,
fish or fowl, large or small
and come in two by two,
and entry would be free for all,
to visit the Human Zoo.
