The Dark Side

THE DARK SIDE

Little swish – big swish!
Big fish eats little fish
Aint nature grand though

Fly tiny bird fly!
There’s an eagle way up high
So? One has to eat

Run little mouse run
cat will have his fun
Even though not hungry

Some say it is love
When the lion bites her throat
Jungle king courtship?

Not a bit of it!
Toothy has picked a winner
Sweet wilda beast for dinner

Oh I like this Daver!...the gains and forfeits of nature. Have you ever seen the small birds fly up after the crows? Have seen it often when driving on the highway, when I'm supposed to be paying attention to the road? They must have raided their nests.:( I chase them off from the ground, they chase them in the air...poor crows perhaps...is there no respite? best wishes, Love, Mikki
