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.
