Animals Fair

Sometimes
I think
I’d like to live
In the world of
Mole
Waiting on Toad

Or another of the animal
Fabulae

But then I’d have to become a
Beastie
I suppose

Something small
Like a civet
Still with
Tooth and claw

Or something that imposes
Like a
Heffalump
With girth
And myth
To help

Toad of Toad Hall drove a shiny red sportscar and wrecked it.  He drove several more such cars and wrecked them all.  (And faced jail time, kids.)
