Man Versus Beast

Nary one lizard is curious about trains Nor are kangaroos hopping mad about Ukraine No wombat worries about crime in New York And even pigs are unconcerned about shortages of pork Name me one rhino who’s learned how to cook Or a hippo who’s written a book Even dolphins don’t go golfin,’ and The only Tiger on the links is a Woods Fragile physically though we humans may be We want to know what goes on globally

(chuckling) This poem is rather important for everyone, gw. It is true. And, sometimes, I wonder if we are too wrapped up "globally," while things here at home need more attention. Like, for example, we need to stop this interparty squabbling!
