Sally Brown Animal KingdomThe lion tears down its prey Chewing the bones Where the body once lay Licking the paws Responsible for the slay Only satisfied Until the next day The strong mighty bear Curls into a ball Awaiting the sleep That comes after fall Life keeps on going Outside the bear's wall How lucky he is To escape from it all The hardworking ant Carries ten times its weight Rushing around Never early or late The soles of our shoes Determine its fate Insignificant to us Yet their strength is so great From the very first day Dogs are loyal to you Their unconditional love Will always be true They promise to listen No matter what you do When you need a friend They always come through The white-tailed deer Is prancing around Minding her business And getting shot down Running for her life A blur of brown I hope she gets away And never is found |
