Panther

See, you will see, how beautiful he Is, with his red and blue dotted fur, A soft coat of fur, but you will flee When you hear his terrible purr. I see, I feel, how so soft and cozy His fur is; ah, what a lovely dream I’m in. Let not Panther, this bossy Beast, stir me with his jaw's cream. With his sweet scent, he’ll get me in, Dissolve, and drive me into his bin, Yet lets the theatre patron get him on And runs like a fawn across the lawn.
