The whale sang,
But I was tone-deaf;
The leopard snarled,
So I ran away;
The wolf howled,
And I closed the gate.
The elephant trumpeted,
The tiger roared,
And the gorilla
Beat his chest,
But I knew not any
Of their languages.
Sadly, I turned around
And looked at the world,
And man’s place in it.
Unexpectedly, a tear
rolled down my cheek,
And suddenly,
I understood them all.
Together, they cried
Out in one loud voice,
“Save us! Save us!”
