Being With Beings

The king of the jungle is  at ease
Greedily he sits beneath a tree
with great agility mouths the bee
thank heavens he didn't see me

A deer stealthily passes by
alertly he's looking for sumptuous leaves
a squirrel  darts up a tree too high
after nibbling some nuts  it simply leaves

suddenly I heard  a chirping  next to me
a group of sparrows just fluttered their wings
a peacock prancing and dancing I did see
Dancing merrily he felt he was a king

birds and beasts are happy as they are
why should we for joy look far?.

A nice beat pithy and to the point I also liked the occasional alternating rhyme
