Mammals shed their hair;

Birds prune and feather their nests;

Snakes crawl out of skins.

 

Lions stalk their prey.

While birds peck at blades of grass,

Black widows weave webs.

 

Worker bees work hard;

They make honey from nectar.

Drones eat, mate and die.

 

Azaleas blooming—

Black widows weaving their webs;

Good-bye silk flowers.

 

Hungry hate hunting—

Love’s lone lamb looks luscious;

Faith favors freedom.

Mammals shed their hair; Birds prune and feather their nests; Snakes crawl out of skins. Lions stalk their prey. While birds peck at blades of grass, Black widows weave webs. Worker bees work hard; They make honey from nectar. Drones eat, mate and die. Azaleas blooming— Black widows weaving their webs; Good-bye silk flowers. Hungry hate hunting— Love’s lone lamb looks luscious; Faith favors freedom.
