In Fairness To Jackals
You are a jackal dripping
A childish cotton candy concoction
From your canine teeth
Though that may be unfair to jackals
Less clever and more desperate,
You are more like a hyena
It's just that it sounds like "cackle" which reminds me of you
Which is how I got there
Really though you are more like an insect
That I have instinctively come to loath
With evolutionary fervor, a lesson
Learned by students in classes that I skipped
A bug of an insidious genus that cloaks itself
In motherliness then tramples its young unknowingly
Not even taking care to savor their meat
Nature is too elegant too intelligent to craft a creature like that
So I will set traps knowing that
You can't beat the house but
Each one of your drones I kill will
Be a tiny Independence Day
