"do you remember a few years go
when there was a dead scorpion
and your sister said, "poor scorpion"
well, I thought that was so genuine
of her to say so as, us humans,
expect these nasty creatures to be
dead"
                         "as it is true, we do expect them not
                          to be wondering around pestering
                          others and scaring them
                          but how would you feel if
                          you were expected by people to be
                          dead?"

I sat there and nodded
agreeing to whatever he is saying.
