A Deadly Pack

The restless wolves begin to howl A rallying call for the hunt Watching closely, ravens caw As hungry wolves growl Then the pack starts off in a trot As the alpha male leads the lot The hunt is on, the ravens follow Hoping for some scraps to swallow The elks in the distance start to run But wolves can run all day A nearby river glistens in the sun A chance for the elk to swim away But gray wolves are excellent swimmers too And they pursue their prey to the other side The elk, now tired begin to slow And powerful jaws deliver the death blow The wolves now feast on their new kill Supreme hunters of the plains The ravens too get their fill As Canis Lupus howls again 3/12/2015
