What Do Animals Do For Fun?

What do animals do for fun?
They don’t pretend or play ball in the sun.
They don’t do puzzles or play video games.
They don’t knock down toy, ten pin frames.
They don’t have the Internet or books to read.
They don’t ride bikes or race toy cars for speed.

What do animals do for fun I ask ya?
They silently play fight
Like the bear cubs of Alaska.
What do animals do for fun, do you know?
They play hide and seek
Like white bunnies in snow.
What do animals do for fun you may wonder?
They spar, kick and box
Like the young Joeys down under.

All of their play might appear rough or drastic,
Or boring because they don’t use tech or plastic.
But all of their play teaches them to survive in the wild,
Just like all of our play helped us to learn as a child.
To develop one’s curiosity, instincts and cognition,
This should be a youngster’s greatest ambition.
