No tigers burning bright
No forests shade their light
No eagle-eyes above - that bird has flown
Like church mice, we're all poor
With no howling wolves at the door
We all know that dog has had its day
The elephant's a feat of our memory
Now there's no room
For anything but ivory towers of our apathy
We sent the dodo first
Went on to do our worst
Distracted swine - we trampled all the pearls
