The Existentialist Chameleon
The existentialist chameleon
Changes all his world to suit his mood.
The existentialist chameleon
Knows that gums do not look threatening
And that teeth only look threatening
With the contrast of the gums.
Bared teeth are a warning;
Bare teeth are a joke,
And only funny
When they're
Not yours.
The existentialist chameleon
Thinks inspirational posters are
No substitute for inspiration.
The existentialist chameleon
Thinks whales belong in oceans
Not in offices.
The existentialist chameleon
Thinks that you can belong in oceans
Not in an office.
The existentialist chameleon knows
That swimming is free.
The existentialist chameleon knows
That drowning is free, too.
The existentialist chameleon
Knows a great many things
But still eats bugs.
