The Purpose

Every single creature, From the moment of its birth, Has a reason for existence On our humble planet earth. Worms are bait for fishing; Squirrels satiate the hawks. Fishes feed flamingos; Ducks make music with their squawks. Crickets chirp a chorus; Cows and chickens give us meat. Bees make honey for the bears And birds are here to tweet. Lions balance zebras; Sheep get shorn to give us wool. Alligators gulp down prey To keep their bellies full. Butterflies spread beauty; Beavers gnaw down extra trees. Goats spend hours grazing To produce that creamy cheese. Every creature’s purpose, And I guess this is a stretch, Seems to outdo man’s intention, Which appears to be – to kvetch*! *to complain or whine
