Ekphrastic PAD 13-3

 What’s Up with the Bushbaby?

 

The giraffe, the monkey, the elephant,

the warthog, the zebra, the wildebeest,

all thought Bushbaby was shy

when they wanted him to come out and play.

 

Turns out Bushbaby

liked to play and do fun things,

but was nocturnal.

He thanked the owl

for “seeing him deep in the night,

when nobody else could.”

 

Yes, as an introvert,

I appreciate that kind of people, too.  

 

Based on Don’t Be Shy Bushbaby by Avril van der Merwe
