Panther

A story had been told about the Great Lakes,                                    
underwater panthers could they be fakes.                                                  
They were also seen in Canada,                                                                 
they would be cute in a bandanna.                                                              
The body came from many animal parts,                                                     
was that really very smart.                                                                     
Spikes running along their back and tail,                                                   
could this be a big old fish tale.                                                               
Tribes say most powerful underworld being,                                             
before believing I need seeing.

I enjoyed the femininity of this write. I've never heard of these, but you paint a very vivid picture of these panthers. Hopefully they don't exist. ;) ~Angie

Thank You, for writing. I have learned many things here on Soup. I did not know about this Panther until Soup. Wikipedia has the true part and I added my part. When I say true, I do not mean real, I mean true to Wikipedia. Enjoy your day................
