Freedom

Python! Python! sneaking ‘round
In the forests on the ground,
What brave man with net and pole
Could capture thy slipp’ry self whole?

Dyngo! Dyngo! running wild
In the forests misting mild,
What little mind or wise man
Could learn your tricks and fool you ‘gain?

Rhyno! Rhyno! charging mad
In the forest peace it had,
What cruel ranger armed with gun
Could try to shoot thy pelt for fun?

Inspired by William Blake's The Tyger
