Coyotes In the Neighborhood
Around our neighborhood coyotes stalk,
Looking for helpless newborn animals
Count them among unwanted cannibals
Be aware when taking your evening walk;
Danger for older folks who stand and gawk,
In nature, coyotes are radicals!
Lead coyote grabs his unwary prey,
And carries it back to the entire pack
Victims have no chance in such an attack.
Some neighbors are carrying pepper spray
To frighten the lead coyote away,
Nobody wants to be a coyote's snack.
Understand coyote's lethal killing game,
Our neighborhood is no longer the same.
