Leopard
LEOPARD
The big cat stalks the shadows,
Searching for his prey.
He's quick and strong this predator,
And patience his mainstay.
Now he lurks inside the fence,
He's got into the house,
And I can tell you this big cat,
Searches for no mouse.
Much bigger prey is needed here,
His appetite enormous,
And as he stalks his fettered prey,
He finds it all quite humorous.
What fools to leave a lazy lout,
To guard their precious chattel.
He'll bring them all down one by one,
Devouring all their cattle.
Foolish leopard that he is,
He hasn't got a clue,
That when the fatted calf is gone,
He will be gone too.
