Animal #4:
Peculiar Pet
Me
- for a pet!? C'mon ... Look at me! It's easy to see I'm nothing but a clumsy old clod Yeah, it's a great bet that I'll never win a beauty pageant I mean, c'mon! You have to admit it I'm so awfully odd I'd be hard for even Stephen King to imagine Look at me! It's easy to see that I'm not really up on the latest fashion Truth be told, if it must be known: Fruit, quite frankly, is my greatest passion Think about it! I'm all stalagmites and latex to be metaphoric Why me? I'm so completely out of date that I look prehistoric You could NOT possibly want me Why I'm practically all tail! I'm neither hip nor hot and hardly smooth I'm bumpy and scaly and ecto- therm- ically cool. So why not go out and find yourself a frog or a fish or a dog or a cat and leave me be peace- fully right here where I'm at?
