ANIMAL CRACKERS

If Elephants
Wore pants
Or perhaps overalls
And they had voices
With Southern drawls
They might ponder as
They wonder over yonder;
What’s dear to a deer?
Are bull frogs sincere?
And what do caribou
care about?
Are seals water tight?
Do egrets have regrets?
Should bears wear clothes?
Should anteaters apologize?
Why do hippos have big thighs?
