What If A Zebra Had Spots?
by Barry Louis Polisar
What if a zebra had spots?
Do you think he would like that a lot?
And what if a tiger had dots
What if a leopard did not?
What if we could sleep like a bat
And dine like an overweight cat?
Instead of going to school, we'd hang around and get fat;
I know of some people like that.
What if we talked with our nose?
And what if the sun just froze?
Exactly what do you suppose
We'd be if we didn't wear clothes?
What if a hippo could fly
Or flutter like a big butterfly?
Do you think any hippo would try?
If so, what would fall from the sky?
