The Walrus and the Narwhal

A superstitious young adult pays a nostalgic visit to her dusty collection of little plastic animals.

The results are in 
I couldn't resist 
I had to find my future 
So I opened the box 
and had a little fun 
All I ever wanted 
was the walrus and the narwhal

I dusted it off 
the plastic green box 
from my days of innocence 
full of tiny noble animals 
from every kingdom 
So precious to me 
I couldn't ever give it away 

I dusted them off 
and put them in couples 
everything in pairs 
everyone in pairs 
Just like our world 
And I wanted the walrus 
but what choice did I have? 
So I added some consolation prizes... 

I'm bound to get one of them 
The Walrus who slouches 
The Ant who never listens 
The Turtle who talks to himself 
The Whale with the deformity 
The Praying Mantis (too religious!) 
The T-Rex with the family situation 
Or at least the Shark who seems a little gay 
I entered with seven ballots 

So I paired the world off 
the animal kingdom 
inter species was the point 
but it couldn't work 
I got the seal 
Probably beautiful 
but not who I want 
Dissapointment ruled me 
And I had to know what happened 
Maybe I just wanted power? 
Well they all found other species 
Probably forgot about me 
even the Walrus 
he got an old Elephant 

The feeling was dangerous 
nostalgic 
but all I ever wanted 
was the Walrus and the Narwhal
