Panther

That gentle roar,the mesmerising scent
Drew the bear's attention as it boldly  went
Lumbering towards the darkened cave
Which few had ever dared to brave
For there there lurked a rainbow beast
Whose appetite had enjoyed many a feast
Painted from  the palette of shimmering Iris
And proudly  ridden by the mighty Dionysus
That entered not a whit into  the grizzly's mind
Little realising it would be his last and  fatal  find
