Waking Up Fast In Serengeti
in the middle of the Serengeti I fell asleep one day
hoping wildebeests and cheetahs were far away
eyes dared me to wake up, and I was scared for a minute
but then I saw the giraffes, and saw the fun in it.
They formed a rescue posse, and were curious about me.
Taller than I had imagined, even taller than the tree
I felt safe because it was not yet dusk, but I woke up fast.
When I heard a possible cheetah shaking up the grass.
