the donkey jumps <br />in the fields and says: <br />Hee-haw! Hee-haw! Hee-haw! <br /> <br />the cat curls <br />on my sofa <br />and purrs: <br />Meow! Meow! Meow! <br /> <br /> <br />the cow lies on the grass <br />chews its cud <br />and mumbles: <br />Moo! Moo! Moo! <br /> <br /> <br />the lion bites into the flesh <br />of its prey, <br />eats heartily <br />and lies in the shade, <br />and growls: <br />Roar! Roar! Roar! <br /> <br /> <br />the dog is in the yard <br />it is night <br />and it declares: <br />Bow-wow! Bow-wow! Bow-wow! <br /> <br /> <br />the pig is in the mud <br />rolls back and forth <br />and goes: <br />Oink! Oink! Oink! <br /> <br /> <br />and man and woman <br />and the child too <br />and even the old and infirm <br />and the dying too, <br />wherever they all may be, <br />all these humans say: <br />Me! Me! Me!<br /><br />Raj Arumugam<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-the-creatures-say/
