If I Were An Elephant

If I were an Elephant, I'd shave my legs; Have a trunk for a tail and eat tons of rotten eggs. If I were a Zebra, I'd get tattoos up on my face; Eat Lions and chase Tigers all over the flipping place. If I were a Giraffe, I'd drink soda straight from the can; Kick rocks with my corns and be the freaking man. If I were a Monkey, I'd live high up in the North; Appear white and scare people from the comfort of my porch. If I were a kangaroo, I'd jump higher than the sky; Fly like an Eagle and you would never ever see me cry. If I were an illegal immigrant, I'd climb over many, many walls. So I'm lucky not to be a human because segregation sounds like absolutely no fun at all(s). 12-06-2016
