Animal Us

Slithery and sly

Lie looking in the eye

Subtle yet sharp

A snake's nasty trap

Strong and predatory

From a distance, elevatory

Sudden pounce, claws damaging

A vulture's shrewd planning

Cute but cunning

In trouble takes off running

His life a solo ride

A fox, his intentions he hides

Lazy and irresponsible

Lays eggs in nests incomprehensible

No duties or fear

A cuckoo holds nothing dear

Huge and mighty

Tusks not to be taken lightly

Adornment, no use

An elephant parading as muse

Not in the jungles or zoos

Walking and living beside you

Humans cum animalistic traits

Humanity dead, others decide the fate
