Why did you stop when I said walk?
Why did you shout when I said talk?
Why did you go and be so rude?
Why did you snatch away that food?
Why did you snarl and sneer and stare?
Why did you put your hand in there?
Why did you open that closed door?
Why did you copy that terrible roar?
Why did you have to step inside?
Why did you have to try and ride?
Why did you say you wanted fun?
THIS IS WHY IT’S TIME TO RUN!
