Jaguar

Jagged, hunting knife in hand…I chop up chunks of meat for my pet jaguar…he fires me up with painful passion – he hands me one of his 9 lives with his handy, giant paw . . . I'm shocked - I didn't expect this at all . . . he caught me before I was gonna make an embarrassing fall - thank you, fuzzy friend for helping me stand tall and all! Ahh! Look at his talons…his claws rip through human flesh and animal flesh…bird flesh also! This particular jaguar, by the name of Spy Jaggerswag, has a desire to hunt down anything that moves; he even chews up outrageously massive roaches when he sees them, crawling about on the forest floor or on a forest tree Giving Spy his meal with boldness by throwing it into his big bowl, he runs hungrily towards his bowl and devours it in seconds with one bite literally – I hesitate with sudden fear…ooh…at least it wasn’t a chunk of me, right? He won’t eat me up – I’m his outlandish owner anyhow…though he’s vicious and spiteful at times - run with your might - let me race you to see who wins - this will be totally tight! We're taking fearless flight, despite our lack of light, but we're not succumbed to fright, alright? xD You're something else - we sit on the bricked wall, sparkling anew in a moon-drenched night Unpredictable nature is how I describe his nature…with wildness I must add! His coat is as black as midnight and his eyes penetrate my soul – green and yellow with twisted, breathtaking beauty and blazing angst Ah yes, he has a good side of him nevertheless – he’s as harmless as a kitten and I massage his velvet-like, ebony fur with blissful admiration and I have no fear when he’s near my side – he saves me from upcoming trouble and he’s not a foe, but he’s a remarkable friend, though at first I was ahh!-frightened of him – he doesn’t intimidate me, but still catches me off guard and I tease him back…we do play pretty rough no doubt about that! RAWRZ! He sneaks right behind me, scaring me out of my wits – that silly, gigantic cat! He’s ferocious obviously, but he does have a bit of ***** and awesomeness in him! I thank Spy for not having me for his feast – he’s burly, brave and beast! ~inspired and dedicated to my trustworthy, furry buddy/big black cat by the name of Spy. He's one of my favorite pets of all time. No joke!
