Close Encounter With Humankind Pt2

The three coyotes Watched this all unfold Waiting for Sam to disappear They knew they had a half An hour Before the OSP would appear They pounced on Maria Snarling hungry scarfing her Drinking up her fresh blood Ripping her Up for dinner, Enjoying their unexpected venison feast. Jason the head coyote, told the others “Well, Sam might be a good guy, For a human. Tried to do the right thing, But he killed her And she died For us to enjoy dinner. Such is the way Of the world My brothers. But he did us a favor Maria is fresh meat And we will feast well Tonight, my brothers. We will eat her up But leave some For our brothers, The vultures, Who are circling above Patiently waiting Their turn to have dinner.” The OSP came In due course Saw the vultures Finishing their dinner Chased them off Heard the contended coyotes Howling at the moon They called Sam Adams up Said there was nothing They could do But let nature Take its course. Thus ended Maria’s Close encounter With humankind.
