17. Animals

 

While very bonded I am,

I crave connections too,

But pets and animals,

For me, doesn’t do any ado.

 

I admire them from afar,

I smile at others’ joys,

I can’t own one for me,

No matter what the ploys.

 

I am fond of baby elephants,

To revel in the nature

Don’t bring one near me,

But, I can’t of me, denature.
