Up Close.
Armchair explorers just like me,
Would like no better destiny
Than meeting creatures constantly
In close encounter naturally.
Akin to paradise would be
To stroke a full-grown lion maybe,
And then invite some chimps to tea.
If angry bulls had been set free
I would not broach them warily
Up close and friendly I would be.
I\'d hug a warthog on my knee
And rub his snout with utmost glee,
My fearless smile is all you\'d see
But to take the safest remedy
I would need teams from T.V.,
And like the documentary
Weaponed men to cover me.
