Oh little snail upon the tree
We've been here before
I've told you time and time again
You're safer on the floor
Oh little snail, you daredevil
What are you doing there
You look lifeless, motionless
Suspended in mid-air
The little snail then said to me
Oh no, not you again
I started climbing up this tree
Last night at half past ten
So if you would be good enough
To kindly leave me be
I may ascend an inch or two
By about half past three
Oh little snail, courageous
My cap to you, I'll doff
If he's not there at lunchtime
I'll know he's fallen off

Wolves
Low primal growl, I respond to that howl. Paws hit the floor, Ears twitching more. Pack found, I prowl. Hunting again, night owl. Prey taken, eaten raw. First by alpha, that's law.

Rabbit
A rabbit in the green. White and so clean. It jumps free. And the woods where it would be. It jumps around. And it hears every sound. White and fluffy with a pink nose. It's cute and everyone knows.
