Fay Slimm - Close Encounters.

Armchair explorers, just like me,
Would like no better destiny
Than meeting creatures constantly
In close encounter naturally.

Akin to paradise would be
To face and stroke a snake maybe,
Or invite ten chimps home to tea.

If angry bulls had been set free
I would not broach them warily
Or run and try to climb a tree,
Up close and friendly I would be.

I'd hug a warthog on my knee
And meet his bite with calmful glee,
My gleaming smile is all you'd see

Because I have the remedy.
There'd need to be a secret key
Just like the documentary.

Ten T.V. teams would cover me! !
