Ironic Zink Poet Rhyme

If I Were An Elephant

If I were an Elephant, I'd shave my legs;  
Have a trunk for a tail and eat tons of rotten eggs. 
 
If I were a Zebra, I'd get tattoos up on my face; 
Eat Lions and chase Tigers all over the flipping place. 
  
If I were a Giraffe, I'd drink soda straight from the can; 
Kick rocks with my corns and be the freaking man.  
 
If I were a Monkey, I'd live high up in the North; 
Appear white and scare people from the comfort of my porch.  
 
If I were a kangaroo, I'd jump higher than the sky; 
Fly like an Eagle and you would never ever see me cry.  
 
If I were an illegal immigrant, I'd climb over many, many walls. 
So I'm lucky not to be a human because segregation sounds like absolutely no fun at all(s).
