Another water animal poem

If…

If I was turned into an animal,
I’d like to be a monkey,
spry and nimble
with a long tail,
swinging from tree to tree.
snitching shiny objects
from unsuspecting tourists.
Now, rising from my nap,
I feel like a manatee,
a big cumbersome cushion-like animal,
drifting in the water aimlessly
going nowhere,
mesmerized by nothing.
