Curiosity of a Red Sky
Two elephants discussed the abnormal red
of the sky
And being curious wanted to know why
The earth is on fire announced the elephant
queen
No said the friend it's the sun sinking below
clouds with earth in between
I thought it was humans playing with fireworks
again
Well it's some other holiday like the one with
turkeys on a table
But turkeys are not celebrating for they're dead
and not able
Could it be the one with rabbits in a basket
I can't believe such a thing but I thought I'd ask it
It's has to be the one honoring a long ago war
Humans believe that's what holidays are for
It all fits in don't you see? They kill the wildlife to
celebrate a battle
But they won't bother us because we're too big to
handle
We couldn't even fit on a hamburger bun
And their grills are too small to cook us, not even
one
