Manimalistic
I want the neck of a giraffe
As a security measure
I will need binoculars too
And a camouflage romper suit
And two radio antennas
I want the legs of an antelope
With all that bounce
And all that spring
Faster than a cheetah
And two horns for stabbing
I want the power of an elephant
All that might and majesty
I can shower myself without a shower
I can be a Hindu god
I want the cunning of a snake
The ability to hypnotise
To hiss like escaping gas
To have fatal venom
I want to be a Girafelopephantosnake

I say you can't beat a wee bit of whimsy now and then :-) LOL on the power station comment - you may well be right :-)
Re. Manimalistic
Soo much to enjoy when we take the time to let our thoughts wander down pathways of fantasy! Your vivid imagery is not only uniquely intriguing, but i now have quite the picture in my mind of just such a creature---one drawn with permanent colored markers and with a sense of Dr. Seuss- for- adults kind of theme :) gol!
Inked with Imagination--Indeed! Thanks for the smiles!
