The Bloodhound
Proud of having in veins Anglo-Scottish blood,
hound is the suitable surname I have earned
for the tireless tracking instinct ingrained in me,
an exclusive pedigree of rare gene manifest in
razor-edge sharpness of a keen sense of smell,
captured by profuse olfactory receptors well.
Unleashed in countryside thicket in the wild
I excel as prized hunter of agile animal blood,
no less accomplished in tracking human scent,
howsoever feeble and distant that might be,
a singular trait that makes me make a mark
tracing criminals as super-sleuth bloodhound.
