Armchair explorers, just like me, <br />Would like no better destiny <br />Than meeting creatures constantly <br />In close encounter naturally. <br /> <br />Akin to paradise would be <br />To face and stroke a snake maybe, <br />Or invite ten chimps home to tea. <br /> <br />If angry bulls had been set free <br />I would not broach them warily <br />Or run and try to climb a tree, <br />Up close and friendly I would be. <br /> <br />I'd hug a warthog on my knee <br />And meet his bite with calmful glee, <br />My gleaming smile is all you'd see <br /> <br />Because I have the remedy. <br />There'd need to be a secret key <br />Just like the documentary. <br /> <br />Ten T.V. teams would cover me! !<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/close-encounters-2/
