Animals are important to us,
When a lion’s mane is voluptuous
When a dogs paw is too big for them
When insects rest their bodies on a flowers stem.
Animals are important to us,
When side walk worms cause disgust
When a cat meows loudly
When a fox stands proudly,
Animals are important to us.
When they yell, sounding like a cuss
When their faces just scream fun,
When in the dark their eyes glow bright like the sun.
Animals are important to us,
When a puppy makes a fuss
When a fox steals food
And when a raccoon is rude.
Animals are important to us
When foxes are as sly as bandits
When snakes are the curse of the desert
When fennecs eat lizards for dessert.
Animals are important to us,
Even the ones who want to eat our guts.
