Be Kind To Animals

"Be Kind to Dumb Animals Week," is an annual nightmare to me, it is so.

"Be kind to animals," they said, And so I left the city, And in the country sought for brutes To love, caress, and pity.

I salv a cor,v with gentle eyes Surrounded by a fence, I went to her and whispered "soh," At which she took offense.

She called her husband from the field, He chased me up a tree, And kept me there for two long hours In mortal agony.

At length he turned his head aside, I tried to sneak arvav, Whereat a dog and two mean goats Got mixed up in the fray.

A hen rvith chickens showed her wrath, A cat meyowled and scratched, Two gobblers and a hissing goose Most bitter language matched.

A snake coiled up and hissed at me, A donkey kicked and brayed- I can't be kind to animals When I am sore afraid.

So in my peaceful home that night I made this promise true: When next I'm kind to animals, I'11 meet them at the zoo.
