Food-Chain

Cat in the tree, searching for a rat

Dog on the ground barking at a bat

Deer in the meadow watching the site

Hunter in the hills aiming his sights

The bear in the cave was woken and awaiting to strike

Hunter pulls the trigger, as the bear goes for the kill

The dog turns to see the headless shooter

And the cat wanders off

The rat in the tree scampers in the other direction

The deer is fast asleep 

While the bear is snacking 

Nobody hears a peep.
