As huge as an elephant
as ferocious as the lion
as swift as the tiger
as stealthy as the cat
as faithful as the dog
as soft as the cow
as fast as the horse
as foolish as the donkey
as mischievous as the monkey
as with and as all
the animals come on a call
equate we the qualities of man
with the characteristics of the animals
that have the one vital one
while man has many qualifications
a mixture of all in one
mostly they are chemical compounds
inseparable
and amalgamated
Well, man is an animal too
with a power of reason
at times secondary to animals
who come out in colours
with the particular sign flagged off.
