The Less Cute Varieties
what was God thinking
when He made porcupines
and skunks
didn't He know they'd stick us
didn't He know they stunk
what was the beauty
in bats, rats and flies
bats they mostly scare us
and rats they draw the flies
to the ocean he gave
electric eels, jellyfish and sharks
don't even think of touching them
or you'll get a bite without a bark
and in the land of swamps
populated with misquitoes
leeches and lizards
disease infested, blood sucking
ugly looking critters
what was God thinking
when He was doing all of that
He was just board
with simple dogs and cats
