During Auditions

There is nothing that will change
Someone notoriously independable
Into a reliable human being.
Unless proof and statistics gathered...
Have been monitored by Sea Lions.
And themselves mistakeably trained,
By Eskimos
Believing them to be Polar Bears...
Who wore goggles
During auditions to perform such tasks.
And the lights went out.
Leaving the Sea Lions to be selected,
In total darkness.
After singing their rendition of 'Moon River'.
And they captivated by having the right tone and pitch,
In their voices.
And were chosen...
Because they had been left handed.
And the information they collected,
Had been misinterpreted...
By recruited winos sleeping on 5th Avenue!
