So, as a new person here, I thought I'd go a head and introduce myself to the writing board.

I'm Cla.ssicalLiteraure and I was asking some people on the SB for a warm-up topic for me to write about. And someone told me to do: An Ahera wanting to be a Zenerix

And I found this to be best stated as a poem. So without further ado:

If I was a Zenirix, instead of this nasty Ahea

I'd stand on four legs,

I wouldn't swim.

I would have their soft downy fur

In multiples of such colors

Alluring. Exquisite. Superb!

That's what I would be.

No more slippery scales

Or squeaky skin

If I was a Zenirix.

If I was a Zenirix, instead of this loathsome Ahea

I'd be loyal, comp*censored*ionate

A best friend to you

I wouldn't scare away the humans

Or even the other creatu's

I'd be like a man's best friend

Honest. Dependable. Righteous.

I'd stay true to them all

Really, I would now

But no one will try

Because I am a Ahea

And not a Zenirix

If I was a Zenerix, and not this boring Ahea

I'd get a full meal!

Instead of the sea-weed and algae

Which is rather bland to chew

I'd have steaks, potatoes

Stews and sweets!

The tastes would be incredible

For this I was sure

For Zenerix's, you see

They can eat what they want

No certain diets

To keep them restrained

I'd be a world-cl*censored* eater

If I was a Zenerix.

Oh why can I not be a Zenerix?

It would please me so

I'm sick of the water
These nasty foods

Of no one coming up to me

No matter what I do

Just make me a Zenerix

This is my only wish.
