What if the jungle animals wore clothes?
Mr. Tall Giraffe the managing director,
Would always be late for business meetings.
Tying some hundreds ties on his long neck.
Brigadier Lion would look majestic.
Wearing a military uniform; striped with stars and medals
walking majestically and been saluted at every corner.
Constable Millipede would never make it in Military.
Thousand blacks boots to polish every morning.
He would always burrow on earth to avoid inspection.
The hippie Monkey would look mischievous.
Wearing in funny places; like inners on the head.
And will have patches; torn while jumping on trees.
A Bat would look cool upside down.
But would have hard time wearing glasses.
Or always wearing clothes upside down.
Sir Buffalo would have a strange hat.
Entwined on the curved horns or wear shades.
Green shaded probably to see green pastures even when drought.
The Snake family would not need a wardrobe.
Shedding their clothes at any place in the jungle.
And would never know Mr. Tortoise the shoes cobbler.
Miss Peacock would be a famous beauty pageant.
Wearing colorful scarlet and proud catwalks.
She would definitely be the dazzling miss jungle world.
What a fashion in the jungle world.
