Leopard's In-Law

Among all beast from the Far East This leopard is the beast of the east He is so swift with clappers and claws Claws that joy in breaking jaws In or out of the many land laws When you see him in a fare hunt he never withdraws Until he gets his full fair share in the air, However rare, Flesh of his hare, His portion and share With all strength and broad length He sets his priority in the dark though bright Because he needs them right without a slight "fight" He moves and writes women’s plight At heart as he suppresses his might Watch him on the telly His steps are welly As he faces his in-laws with his tail under-the-belly Do you wonder? Yes, you ponder and wonder How this leopard can ever be shy Of cause it isn't a lie He never looks up in the sky As he faces his mother-in-law for a bride! This leopard needs a ride He will no longer hide But slide and glide To meet his in-laws Though slow, to glow and follow His bride on the other side To unhook his bide through good guide On the other side of the site and sight so wide

Thanks Linda for this comment. I reread it today and it made me feel nice. So glad to share this platform with you. And yes, I like my in-laws. They were my inspiration at the time.
