To Inspire and Delight

If I were an animal
  I'd elect to be man
Then I could think up
  all sorts of great plans

To advance the cause 
  of my entire tribe
To inspire and delight
  -- I'd never proscribe

I'd need to compete
  that much I know
But I won't complain ~
  that's how my tribe grows

There it is again, Gershon ... even if you were something else, you'd still want to be whoever or whatever else you were. Enjoed your thoughts in this one very much. Thanks, Bill

Maybe I should content with being a 'Wolf,' a Gershon Wolf... ~ Just sayin'
