Name this Piece



Haven’t you seen the Elephant!

He never forgets

He must be a genius.

Did you also consider the Bear?

He never forgives

He must be a monarch.



A little study of the Eagle!

Reveals tha’ he never misses a target.

He must be a great achiever.



Have you saluted the Zebra this morning?

I heard that no Lion has ever

tasted his fresh blood.

Isn’t he a great sportsman?



A friend told me this morning

of a repentant vandal.

Caterpillar by name

Who, brings terror to our plants.

Today he is a baptized fellow.

Butterfly!

A great gardener.

Now a professor of plant pollination.

I saw him later in the day

But my friend missed a vital point.

She didn’t tell me that

Heaven also gave him an award

Of two pairs of beautiful, bright wings!

From flower to flower

Taking samples of juice and pollen grain.

Is he not yet another great scholar of our time?



Go to the Bee!

Yes! he won’t give you time for interview

But ask the great scientist how he does it!

Fly along with him as he responds to you

and bring me a note from him.

Trading his Honey for protection!

Is he not a business man of repute?



Don’t tell the Fly that I asked after him.

That great, stubborn journalist

Who forgot his way back to base.

Turned into a beggar

Even of feces.

I have naught for him!

May he never find his way back

Lest we know the secret of secrets.

Has he not seen enough secret acts of men?



Even their follies!



Send my words to the Dragonfly.

Tell him to buy the card for the next lotto.

The last price in the list is a pair of Clutches!

I hope he wins-I mean the last price.



Send my sympathetic regards to the Beetle.

The new Sanitation Act,

Smashed into irredeemable fragments his

peddling business.

He is an applicant once again!

Employers should take note.



Do not learn from the Praying Mantis!

An ex-boxer turned priest.

A man with blue eye and swollen mouth;

attended my seminar last week.

He is a worker in Mantis’ ministry

And he is not a fighting type.

Praying Mantis!

When is he going to hang the gloves?
