Jack Ellison Poet Limerick

Survival of the Fittest

Watched a nature program about Africa last night
And the animals that roam free what a glorious sight
Survival of the fittest
Can make us grimace
As the prey succumbs in a fight for their life


Hard to watch!!!

Laura Breidenthal August 14, 2015 at 5:14 AM Yes, it can get gruesome out there in the wild. I love this limerick though. You find inspiration in everything! Always, Laura Jack Ellison August 14, 2015 at 6:14 AM I realize it's Mother Nature at work but it's so hard to watch at times!!! Love, Jack xxx

Carol Eastman August 2, 2015 at 5:44 PM Hey... Dragon is a free range Dragon.... And you might say... It's survival of the fittest when we go any where... Think I might get a T Shirt that says 'I Survived Dragon'. Cool! Don't you think?
