Time for lunch

We sure have your favourite animals

Unhappy dolphins smile, as they slay

Cute chip-monks, with wise old faces

And foxes, that hide from man, all day

 

Dopey koalas oblivious

That a cuddle’s on its way

A pretty butterfly waves goodbye

Then off to eat, then kill, her pray

 

Yet, both wolves and boar, ought not to ignore

Their cousin’s fates, soon became clear

Dogs join the family unit, to help…

Get through, a billion pigs a year

 

Dolphin sings and dances, in the sunshine

Jellyfish recolonises, down in the dark

Octopus with nine brains, shaping nonagons, Nein!

Fuck me! Here comes baby shark

 

All the animals, come out to play

We show up, and they run away

To children, what else can we say —

But, either sorry! Or hurray!

 

We tried and tried, to change our ways

Told God to make us good, and prayed

Then tasked robots, to manage our day

But sorry, we must be on our way

 

Made laws, to try to restrain ourselves

Grew banks, to lend, and spend, our wealth

Intuitions, responsible for our health

But sorry, we don’t feel too great today

 

And soon we’ll finally be on our way

Poyekhali! Off we go, hurray!

To the heavens, without delay

And all the animals, came back out to play

 

It takes time to build allegiances

Form bonds, and agree to bunch

That’s only with your own species

For the rest, it’s time for lunch
