Nature of the Beasts

The Burmese python snacks on goats

while spiders ingest flies,

lions wolf down antelope;

Aunt Edna scarfed the pies

Black bears feed on scaly fish,

coyotes munch on fox,

monsters dine on little kids,

the Maytag eats your socks

In case you've ever wondered

about creatures' chosen feasts,

it's just inborn behavior ~

it's the nature of the beasts!

Mmmm... ;p

Around here, it's the dog that steals socks... but I know it was Aunt Edna that took those pies... ;) Thanks for indulging my goofy sense of humor, April!

A funny one, Rita, very well written. Hmmm, now I know what happened to my lemon-sponge pie!

[Rita L. Sev]

Lol! Yep - gotta watch old Aunt Edna around those pies! Thanks, Sam!

Also, "Goldberg dines on lox..."

Ha! Thanks, Marie :)

i like that little mix of man and machine being part of the nature of the beasts....

animals doing because it is instinctual...why do we?

a fun but thoughtful poem, Rita.

"Just my nature" sounds so much better than "The Devil made me do it..." Thanks, Jacob!
