BRANDED HUMANALS





There is a smidgen of doggerel in every dog;

A bit of bombast in bears roaming the woods;

Humans are not the only ones with accolades.



Where did we learn to ferret things out, weasel

Our way out of tough situations and get bullish

In the stock market. We are animal taught.



I myself have gotten squirrelly over things and

Have learned to scratch like a chicken for scrap;

Of late, I have been a mole writing my poetry.



They all have family, homes and a destiny; their

Fate was never to be laid out in pieces at dinner;

But there is more than a helping of animal in us.



Whales have inter-oceanic communication; there

Is more of the brainy in cetaceans than we possess;

We learn equations of love from dolphins.



If we have been accused of being animalistic.

Maybe we were goaded and prodded like cattle;

However, no one should be branded as cruel.
