THE FIRST THING I WOULD DO

If I were a ferocious panther the first thing I would do; was

devour my prey
with unprecedented relish,
Then sleep in my den in the heart of the jungle cloistered from
acrid light; impregnating the atmosphere with my snores.
If I were an inconspicuous mosquito the first thing I would do;
was to extract
parsimonious amounts of blood from supple complexioned flesh,
Then buzz incessantly in vicinity of the eardrum; driving the
individual to
the threshold of raw indignation.
If I were a long legged spider the first thing I would do; was to
weave my
silken web with the sticky gel in my belly,
Then patiently wait for innocuous insects to get trapped in;
before pulverizing them to succulent pulp.
If I were a handsome grey lizard the first thing I would do; was
to stealthily
pounce on my victim; strangulating it with my coherently
synchronized teeth,
Then perching myself in hidden cavities of the tube light;
laboriously try and
swallow my sumptuous meal.
If I were an indolent cow grazing on the hills the first thing I
would do; was
to munch lush green grass protruding from the soil,
Then spend marathon hours chewing the same; succeeded by an
afternoon siesta;
with the sun shining in my eyes.
If I were a preposterously huge elephant wandering through the
swampy marshes;
the first thing I would do; was submerge my trunk in water;
evacuating colossal amounts of the solvent,
Then sprinkling the same with equanimity and brute power; on
all animals in
the surrounding.

If I were a disdainfully colored cockroach the first thing I would

do; was to
swish my tentacles rampantly in exuberance,
Then cling as tightly as possible to inner seams of the lavatory
seat; waiting
for dawn to descend in utter exasperation.
If I were a enchanting cuckoo the first thing I would do; was to
adroitly flex
vocal chords deep down in my throat,
Inundating the ambience with melodious music; profoundly
enjoying the
aftermath of the same.
If I were a heinous criminal the first thing I would do; was to
sabotage prime
property,
Stripping the overwhelmingly rich of their affluence;
philandering all throughout the night under sleazy lights of the
blaring discotheque.
If I were a normal human being the first thing I would do; was to
find the
inevitable love of my life,
Incarcerate the same for the remaining time till I breathed air;
dedicate my
entire time towards protection of her being.
And If I were the omniscient Creator the first thing I would do;
was to annihilate all poverty and suffering,
Make sure that all those living continued to live in perpetual
contentment; for decades immemorial.
