In Fairness To Jackals

You are a jackal dripping A childish cotton candy concoction From your canine teeth Though that may be unfair to jackals Less clever and more desperate, You are more like a hyena It's just that it sounds like "cackle" which reminds me of you Which is how I got there  Really though you are more like an insect  That I have instinctively come to loath With evolutionary fervor, a lesson Learned by students in classes that I skipped A bug of an insidious genus that cloaks itself  In motherliness then tramples its young unknowingly  Not even taking care to savor their meat Nature is too elegant too intelligent to craft a creature like that So I will set traps knowing that You can't beat the house but  Each one of your drones I kill will Be a tiny Independence Day
