Favourite animals

Next time you get out and about,
whatever that may mean,
and you meet people,
don’t ask where they are from,
or what their professions are,
or any of that crap.

Just ask for their favourite animal.
Your zoological knowledge will grow,
you will provoke surprise and intrigue,
someone will say a snake,
and you can cease pretending to be an accountant.

Other things may happen too.
I’ll tell you all about them.
As soon as I have gotten rid
of this middle-aged antelope lover
who won’t shut up.
