Listen
Wallow in the mud dust, Mr. Rhinoceros,
so you can feel the cooling talcum powder of it
on your leathery hide.
Mrs. Rhino will appreciate it very much
to feel your cool, dry skin.
Where are your little rhino babies,-
hiding in the pond, or in plain view?
I’m sure they’re cleverly hidden,
you seem so calm and cool.
unperturbed is more your style,
plodding with one thing only in view
is it food you’re staring at today?
or is it something, only a rhino, will know?
