The Dream Job You Never Thought

You think you know me!

Who I am, what I’m about.

Let’s be honest here, you have no idea.

Muchin? I go there.

College? It’s near.

My dream job? Will be my life; now and forever.

Animals; gosh, I love them!

I can go from study, study, study to

Care-free with the animals spree.

College is so close; only a few months away.

Right now I can’t start to play.

Zoology or pre-vet in college?

Yeah, that sounds right.

Studying for four years…

Yeah, that’d make my night.

Practice makes perfect, as they would say.

Studying for the days, I can go to the zoo

Loving the joy but it’s not just for you.

I know what people will say:

“In South Africa, what’s over there? What kind of job is at the zoo?

Why there? You won’t make much to live,

So you should choose something else. What if you get killed?”

Support? There is none. Because you see it’s family and friends

That put me down some. They think I’m dumb, crazy, and stupid.

Inspiration? Yeah, there’s just one.

His name is Kevin Richardson. He was the one

To show me the light. He proved that animals and humans can live

Side by side. He became part of the prides of Hyenas and Lions.

He is the support! I look up to him, because he showed me

Crazy ideas can always win!

People think it’s impossible!

But then again, the impossible is always possible

To those who won’t give up.
