Dumb Animals

Just because we talk to the animals There's no need to call us loopy Most of them are aching for conversation To tell us when they're feeling poopy Ask 'em about us silly humans With our conflicts and stupid old wars Bet they'll give you a real earful And bestow a dumb people award Animals seem to just know the secret For living side by side with each other Of course they actually have their predators But don't go round killing their brothers Every time we talk to these animals We learn more about acting civil Seems these dumb animals as they are called Don't tolerate none of this drivel So keep talking to these so called dumb animals They can teach us a thing or two Bout how to get along with our fellow man And not kill all our brothers in the zoo! © Jack Ellison 2012

Loved much because you have used the word "silly humans". I too feel that animals kill one at a time, but we kill uncountable by using weapons with in a nano second. We are much more dangerous than them. Dumb animals are much more true than human beings on this earth. Thanks for your comment on my write. Loved always, bl

Animals definately bring out the softer side of us... Maybe we should be Their pets instead of the other way around.

A fun way of dealing with a serious topic. Now when my wife calls me an Animal I can take it as a compliment!
