I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained.
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
Not one is dissatisfied, not one is demented with the mania of owning things,
Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago
Not one is respectable or industrious over the whole earth.
Walt Whitman

"Der Kaspar der war kerngesund/Ein dicker Bub und kugelrund/Er hatte backen rot und frisch/Die Suppe ass der Hübsch bei tisch/Doch einmal fing er an su schrein:/"Ich esse keine suppe! Nein!/Ich esse meine suppe nicht!/Nein, meine suppe ess' ich nicht!"

Perhaps not a question for this time of night, though.

Its a shame that (for gcse, at least) in english we dont look at poems like that, because they are much better than any shakepeare or carol-anne duffy that they force down our necks.
