"HELLO AND WELCOME TO NAME THAT ANIMAL WITH YOUR USUAL HOST - GOD!"
"HELLO AND WELCOME TO NAME THAT ANIMAL WITH YOUR USUAL HOST - GOD!"
All the animals
trundle by
on a conveyor belt.
Adam feels
like a contestant
on a T.V.
Quiz Show.
Can get to keep
the things he names
there’s heaps & heaps.
God beams
like he’s Noel Edmonds.
Adam’s nervous
sweats under the T.V. lights.
‘Eh…bog…cog…eh…log
no.. .doy…yes…dog! ‘
‘Yes…that’s it! ‘
And so we barely get
man’s best friend.
‘That! ‘ Adam points at cat
and God(being hard of hearing)
gives him that.
Adam really messes up
when it gets to Pegasus, centaur,
unicorn and dragon.
Adam laughs
when he sees his first giraffe.
Couldn’t think
of a proper name
for
it.
‘Go on…come on! ‘
God prods and prompts.
But all Adam
can do
is laugh…&…laugh.
So between them
they name it
Gir affe
meaning that
which makes one
laugh.
"Seriously Adam..." God scolds
"Ya gotta take this more seriously!"
