Without a Stinger

A bee without a stinger Can’t intimidate as much And a broken trigger finger Won’t be helpful in the clutch. A snake with venom missing Or a shark without its teeth Are like cats who act like hissing Hides some jeopardy beneath. An eagle, hawk or owl Lacking talons cannot kill And a lion on the prowl Without stealth won’t have much skill. An elephant without a tusk Will not do very well And a president without a Musk Is just an empty shell.
