The Animal Kingdom

      the owl is wise
        the cat is clean
      the hound is friendly
        a licking machine 

      the crow is dark
        the eagle bald
      the tune of the lark
        has me enthralled

      the gazelle is graceful
        the grizzly’s strong
      just watch me move
        when he comes along

      the lion rules the kingdom’s pride ~
        that’s why humans live inside
