Embrace an Animal
Go cuddle with a chimpanzee
or grasp a kangaroo,
Make friends with any antelope
and hold it close to you.Try nuzzling an octopus
or clinging to a skunk.
Next time you’re near an elephant,
go squeeze its mighty trunk.Embrace a hippopotamus
or snuggle with a snake,
but hugging on a porcupine’s
a terrible mistake.
Side note: I draw these at 5:00 in the morning, and I don’t always think details through. No questionably-appropriate positioning of legs or noses is intentional.
