Pig Ballet

A peacock can't fan out his tail
and tell you he's a chicken
A snake can't bite your leg
and tell you he's a kitten
A fish can't jump out of the water
and say it's a bird
A politician can't make you believe
a single word
A pig can't tell you
she knows ballet
An ant can't tell you
he's an Elephant
A bear can't tell you it's claws
just scratch itches
You can't tell a child that stars
don't carry wishes
And,
I can't write what I've written
and tell you otherwise.
