THE DAY THE ANIMALS CRIED
written by Evelyn244

Did you hear? Asked the elephant
Raising her trunk to trumpet the news
Hes left us, hes gone, this is not a ruse
The wolves howled a long mournful report
It cannot be, where is our Aussie sport?
The lions and leopards looked on in disbelief
Can this be true? They roared in anguished grief
The seals and polar bears hung their heads in sorrow
Wondering who would be their voice tomorrow
The penguins and the whales stopped in their play
And asked, what has happened on this earth today?
The reptiles tongues sensed the pain all around
And lay still on the earth as if spellbound
The porpoises and turtles rose in the sea
To ask the other creatures how could this be?
The kangaroos and the wallabies stood still in fear
Our warrior, our champion is no longer here?
The koalas huddled together in their trees
Wondering if tomorrow they still would be free
The crocodiles tears flowed freely like rain
Confirming the truth and showing their pain
This man, this human, this creature, our friend
Someone who loved us, and on whom we depend
Who showed the world, were all worthy of love
Has slipped from this earthly realm and ascended above.

To the Irwins, Wes, and the Australian Zoo family
The ones who will miss him the most, are those creatures
Who cannot speak for themselves.

GiGi is like Dr. Jekyll & MRS. Hyde. Sometimes she likes me, sometimes not. This parrot stuff is for the birds (hehehe...lame, i know...whatEVER). She crawled out of her cage and back in on her own...oh, and she LOVES chicken...kinda creepy, huh?
