Meerkat Poem

Post Reply New Topic

I am a meerkat
Imagine that!
I am really quite the sophisti-kat
I run around and stick my tail in the air
I strut my stuff with flair
I'm flamboyant
I'm a star
People say that I am really cute
Oh right they are
I'm also really tiny
But I don't care
Because I know my friends are always there
We look out for each other
We're a team
Always together
Even in our dreams

Very neat tidy poem. Deceptively simple yet says a lot without having to explain. Like the idea about collective dreaming, and I guess they would do something like that.

I tried to think of a poetic reply . I thought about their diet. They eat scorpians - well ,the closest half-rhyme I came up with was ,

eat scorpians- Richard Dawkins.


Not sure it works. Yours is much more precise.
