Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could speak to animals? Wouldn’t it be amazing? What would you talk to them about? Would you tell others that you can talk to animals? I know I would be more than excited to tell everyone around if I could speak with animals. And why not? Not everyone can do that! I have a poem for you that tells about how I would love talking to animals. Read it out and see if these are the things you too would talk about!
If I could talk to the animals,
Just imagine it,
Chatting to a chimp in chimpanzee
Imagine talking to a tiger,
Chatting to a cheetah
What a neat achievement it would be
If I could talk to the animals,
Learn their languages,
Maybe take an animal degree,
I’d study elephant and eagle,
Buffalo and beagle,
Alligator, guinea pig and flea
I would converse in polar bear
And python
And I would curse in fluent kangaroo
If people asked me,
Can you speak rhinoceros?
I’d say, “of courseros!
Can’t you?”
If I conferred with our furry friends,
Man to animal,
Think of all the things I could discuss
If I could walk with the animals
Talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk
With the animals
And they could squeak and squawk
And speak and talk to me
If people asked me,
Can you speak rhinoceros?
I’d say, “of courseros!
Can’t you?”
If I conferred with our furry friends,
Man to animal,
Think of all the things I could discuss
If I could walk with the animals
Talk with the animals
Grunt and squeak and squawk
With the animals
And they could squeak and squawk
And speak and talk to me
Little girl whispering in the ear of a dog
Two Rhinos greeting us
So, how did you like the poem? Didn’t it tell how excited I would be? I want you to imagine a situation where you could do the same. I want you to think about the things you would wish to do if you had such an ability. Take a piece of paper and note down the things that come to your mind when you imagine you can talk to animals. Make sure to make a funny poem out of the thoughts!
1. How to write a poem about talking animals?
It’s easy. Close your eyes and imagine a scene where you can speak with animals. Start a conversation, maybe with a simple hello! Then, move on to some serious business. For instance,
Hey Mister Bunny!
Let’s sell carrots and earn some money!
Viola! You have a little poem there!
2. What can we learn from this poem?
Animals and humans are not meant to talk to each other in the same language, but animals too feel the urge to interact with us humans. They talk to each other like we humans do. We should be considerate towards them and try to understand what they are trying to tell us. We can try to communicate with them physically, if not verbally. They need us around them as much as we need them. So, to build harmony in the world, we must try and interact with the animal kingdom as much as possible and make sure they don’t feel left out in this human-dominated world.
