This Leopard Wasn'T Too Swift

This leopard wasn't too swift
she'd just given birth
so she needed to rest for awhile.

Soon she'll be back at the hunt
her young in need
she too will feel the hunger.

Don't let the snake take her young
it swims through the grass
looking for its own tasty meal.

Maybe the snake would make a good meal.
