Leopards never change their spots,

And emus don’t walk back.

Human genitals in inkblots,

We take a different tact.

We’re fickle, indecisive,

“Sophisticated” creatures.

We’re typically divisive,

Snap judgements when we meet ya.

Pleasant when it’s to your face,

Loyal to a certain price.

Memories we can’t erase,

We won’t be caught out twice.

Sometimes I wish I were a cat,

Just prowling on my own.

Or like a dog upon a mat,

Just gnawing on a bone.

No intrusive thoughts to hear,

A simpler way of life.

Only stress of primal fear,

Not job or kids or wife.

Sometimes I look at fellow man,

And think they live like this.

A gift that they can’t understand,

Because ignorance is bliss.
