Notes About The Poem

As humans we communicate with each other in different languages some we understand some we don't 

But if we talk to our.pets or livestock they seem to understand (like a dog will sit when told to and a horse will come if you call it) so how can they understand us but we can't understand them 

I might

I might bark like a dog or like a cat I would meow.

I might cluck like a chicken or moo like a cow 

I might hiss like a snake or buzz like a bee 

If I talked like this would you understand me 

I might roar like a lion or growl like a bear 

Would you understand me or not even care 

I might baa like a sheep or quack like a duck 

I might oink like a pig that rolls in the muck 

But I am human and you can understand what I say 

Do you think all animals communicate in the same way.
