Of all the
animals I see,
the one I would
most like to be,
is the
wildebeest.
While some may
look at them and scoff, when I see them
I just smile and laugh.
When I think of
their funny array of leftover parts, it brings a
warm feeling right into my heart.
Horse like tail
and punk rocker mane, with their
mismatch of parts, they don’t seem to complain.
They are, in
fact, quite cute when they’re small, with a slightly lighter brown color to their
fur overall.
Their side
flanks, while they look dirty,
are actually “brindled”
with two shades of furry.
With a rocking
horse gait they can pick up some speed, and don’t get in their way if they start a
stampede.
But the main
reason I like them the most,
is that they
seem to join any herd, no matter the host.
They simply
blend with whomever they come upon,
whether impala
or gemsbok they just tag along.
The most
gregarious of creatures,
they simply disregard
their features.
Back haunches
too small for their larger front legs,
Wouldn’t you
like to be a wildebeest too?
I think the
question begs…
