All the animals <br />trundle by <br /> <br />on a conveyor belt. <br /> <br />Adam feels <br />like a contestant <br /> <br />on a T.V. <br />Quiz Show. <br /> <br />Can get to keep <br />the things he names <br /> <br />there's heaps & heaps. <br /> <br />God beams <br />like he's Noel Edmonds. <br /> <br />Adam's nervous <br />sweats under the T.V. lights. <br /> <br />'Eh...bog...cog...eh...log <br />no...doy...yes...dog! ' <br /> <br />'Yes...that's it! ' <br /> <br />And so we barely get <br />man's best friend. <br /> <br />'That! ' Adam points at cat <br />and God(being hard of hearing) <br />gives him that. <br /> <br />Adam really messes up <br />when it gets to Pegasus, centaur, <br />unicorn and dragon. <br /> <br />******* <br /> <br />WHAT'S IN A NAME? <br /> <br />Adam laughs <br />when he sees his first giraffe. <br /> <br />Couldn't think <br />of a proper name <br /> <br />for <br />it. <br /> <br />'Go on...come on! ' <br />God prods and prompts. <br /> <br />But all Adam <br />can do <br /> <br />is laugh...&...laugh. <br /> <br />So between them <br /> <br /> <br />they name it <br />Gir affe <br /> <br />meaning that <br />which makes one <br /> <br />laugh.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hello-and-welcome-to-name-that-animal/
