Remarks
Lakadima the leopard,
A hunter feared
By wildebeests, warthogs,
And many a deer.
One fine evening
With the mambas hissing,
The baboon clan noticed
One of them was missing.
For her pray again
Lakadima had caught,
And choked its gullet
As she had been taught.
As the baboon breathed
Its last breaths quail,
Something shook
From under its tail.
From underneath
Its tail appeared
A nascent baboon
With blood all smeared.
Too small to eat,
Too fragile to shew,
Kill it or leave it,
What would she do?
Having smelt the rotting flesh
Of a dead baboon’s corpse
Came a hungry hyena
Who lacked all remorse.
The hyena spotted
The tiny baboon
And the little thing
Was staring at doom.
But lo she came
With a threatening growl,
And the hyena fled
With a temper foul.
The two then cuddled
In the pink twilight,
And dozed off into
The Savannah’s night.
Lakadima the leopard,
Killed only to feed,
For beasts are free of
The vice of greed.
