“Creature Comforts”

 

Pelican pie and seagull stew,

 pigeon pastry, a table for two.

 chipmunk cookies, chicken crackers,

 some ducks are quiet, some are quakers

 

Rabbit ravioli,

 clam casserole,

 gopher gumbo,

 deep fried mole

 

Puppy burgers,

 kitten cakes,

 good grief, I’m joking,

 for heaven’s sake

 

But I’d like to have them all to lunch,

 vegetable soup, we’d have for brunch,

 but eat my friends, I think not,

 fruit and veggies, at the store I bought

 

Upside down cake,

 is good with bats,

 they can hang around,

 above my welcome mat

 

I’d love to have,

 a furry feathery farm,

 with all the creature comforts,

 far away from harm

 

From the mountains to the jungles,

 through the deserts, to the sea,

 all God’s creatures,

 are friends to me . . .
