Why I Love This Book

An excerpt from "I'm a Manatee" by John Lithgow:

With my wit, sophistication, and urbanity,
I dignify my watery domain.
No one near will ever hear me use profanity,
Because a manatee has his image to maintain.

I'm a manatee,
I'm a manatee.
I keep my reputation spick and span-atee.

No difference between my face and fann-atee
A stately manatee,
That's me.
