If an animal could speak,
I wonder what it would have to say.
He would not speak ill,
Or complain,
And no silence would be awkward,
If for any moment you could manage one.
An Unlikely Companion for Tea
If an animal could speak,
I wonder what it would have to say.
He would not speak ill,
Or complain,
And no silence would be awkward,
If for any moment you could manage one.
