Animal Traits

I had a pass time,
It was funny to say the least,
I had gathered images of animals,
in my mind,
from various sources and places,
I kept on comparing these,
with those of people around,
there was that sharp nosed and eyed guy,
who looked like a fox,
then there was that little neat lady,
who looked like acat,
then there was another stately guy,
who had amien like a lion,
then there was another guy,
who could smell and bark like a dog,
some were even more exotic,
and lazy enough to resemble tortoise,
some were  as frisky as house rats,
then there were several who were,
slithering like snakes,
others made you beleive they were lizards,
once categorized,
I would compare their traits,
with their animal counterparts,
and you know what,
they fitted the bill more often than not,
is it possible that they had reborn humans,
still having the traits as remnants.
