Do Not Tease the Animals

Do Not Tease the Animals

By Elton Camp

The game preserve had a warning sign
Leave the animals alone or there’s a fine

But no matter what the place may say
There are always a few who don’t obey

Robert thought to poke the hippo a blast
Not knowing it could run extremely fast

In outage the huge beast did react
And poor Robert it began to attack

The sign’s wisdom he came to see
As in terror he proceeded to flee
