The Tapir

The tapir, you may know, is prehensile.
With his nose he can hold any utensil.
            But what’s really absurd
            is that he writes not a word
when someone gives him due paper and pencil.
            
Why in limericks and other places do we laugh at so many good creatures? Why are we so relentlessly superior?

           
MoralDoesn’t it reveal how much we feel inherently and, instead, inferior?
