And there he is again,
on the very first page of
every Merriam-Webster,
the top of the list of
Animalia,
the Everest of his kind;
Aaron, if he were human,
dismissing as jealousy
his rivals’ cry of “cheat,”
that the double A
is so superfluous,
he’s no transistor battery
or city on the Danish coast;
and if he could scream,
a pirate’s aargh!
as if on a ship of stolen
gold, strutting haughtily, as though
he’d a mane of the same colour,
asking disdainfully, just WHO
is the King of beasts?
