We can growl, hiss, or moo,
climb or chew, sleep or screw —
now that Bei Bei's been born,
no one cares what we do.
We could dance a soft shoe,
make fondue, learn kung fu,
play lacrosse and French horn,
they'd still treat us like poo.
So come on, kangaroo,
frog and gnu, owl and shrew:
let 'em wake from their scorn . . .
to a big empty zoo.
