Who decides the sun is yellow The sky is blue Green is envy, red is passion Who's to say my cat is not a lioness, ferocious and proud, but who's to say a lioness is dangerous? I determine my own reality Where white is the color of evil, and black is not worn after Labor Day The Eiffel Tower is my bathtub, And my bathtub? The Taj Mahal I can touch my toes to the moon, swish my fingers in the infinite storm of Jupiter The River Styx is my backyard, and I live in the center of the sun's hottest point, where no temperature is recorded other than 0 degrees Fahrenheit How do we name the animals? Language of origin please, root word, Greek, Latin, Romance languages, Puke Why can't my fish be called a shmeeeffflaarnaa? It's much more interesting than 'neon tetra' And as for the dog, I'd much rather have three daphnaria's running around my house You should come live with me, it's much more fun here

How Do We Name The Animals?
Who decides the sun is yellow The sky is blue Green is envy, red is passion Who's to say my cat is not a lioness, ferocious and proud, but who's to say a lioness is dangerous? I determine my own reality Where white is the color of evil, and black is not worn after Labor Day The Eiffel Tower is my bathtub, And my bathtub? The Taj Mahal I can touch my toes to the moon, swish my fingers in the infinite storm of Jupiter The River Styx is my backyard, and I live in the center of the sun's hottest point, where no temperature is recorded other than 0 degrees Fahrenheit How do we name the animals?
