Your a house cat, Prince.
You can’t just be a house cat your whole life, knocking **** over and hissing at birds.
Only the next day to be a big, sturdy elephant.
Quit all this “elephant” *******.
Take a good look in the mirror; at your little cat ears.
Your thin, adorable little whiskers, and fluffy tail.
Do elephants have have little ears?
Do they have cute little whiskers or fluffy tails?
No, they don’t.
People don’t change, no matter how much they think otherwise.
You can’t just wake up one day and be an elephant, Prince.
The world doesn’t work like that.
Those are the rules, and you want to stomp all over them with your big, nonexistent elephant feet.
So next time you wake up, take a good look in the mirror and hiss at yourself.
Why? Because your a ******* house cat, and can’t recognize your own reflection.
Get over yourself.
A spin on Bo Burnhams “Alfred”
