God looked down on Earth below,

For the creatures had put on quite the show,

The divine gaze was amused,

And to this day it continues to muse.

For the cat was barking it’s heart out,

While the fish in the lake did nothing but shout,

The elephants walked on sticks so thin,

Hippos strutted with pointed chins.

The nightangle soumded like a man who would die,

The ostrich flew across the sky,

The woodpecker broke its beak,

And the eagle lay there, weak.

The lion feared the deer,

Rabbits gallivanted in cliffs sheer,

The fox was no longer cunning,

And the sloth beat the leopard at running.

God was no stranger to the earth’s queer ways,

He simply laughed and called it a day,

And the next day during sunrise,

The owls once again became wise.
