African White Dog
All hail African wild dogs
Revered even by haughty hogs
They are clothed in black, white and yellow,
Clean and colorful, as real as the rainbow
On African plain they stroll and struggle
Never would you find them in a jungle
They are socialites, sealed like stacks
They peck, play and prey in their packs
Unlike local dogs they prey with their eyes
Sharp-sighted like the eagles in the skies
They are simple but swift, mighty mammals
They prey on large antelopes, impalas and zebras
Dutiful dogs they are, running a rugged race
55kilometer per hour, what a powerful pace!
Their age-long habitat got decreased and degraded
As human beings constantly increased and invaded
These daring dogs, endangered by human persecution
Are suffering in their habitats modified by human intrusion
