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?

           
Moral: Doesn’t it reveal how much we feel inherently and, instead, inferior?
