A YELLOW COAT WITH DENSE ROSETTE DARK
SMALL EYES AT NIGHT THAT SPARK
WITH BODY SCENT BOUNDARIES IT MARK
A PANTHER CAN GRUNT ROAR OR BARK
VERSATILE HUNTER IS A FELINE MATURE
ELUSIVE AND SOLITARY IN NATURE
CLIMBING , SWIMMING OR IN CUB’S NURTURE
ALWAYS GIVES A GRAND PICTURE
HIS EYES SHARP AND LEGS STRONG
HIS FACE AND BODY STRETCHED LONG
FASTEST RUNNER IT IS AMONG
THE CAT’S FAMILY TO WHICH IT BELONGS
BE IT A CHITAL,’BOAR,’ OR HERRING
PREY IS BOTH FOUR LEGGED OR WITH WING
SUDDEN , STEALTHY ATTACKS MAKES IT KING
UP THE TREE IT DRAGS AND BRINGS
THERE IT CONCEALS ITS KILL AWAY
WITH ITS MATE IT SHARES ITS PREY
WHEN JAUGERS OR LIONS COME THAT WAY
IT READILY JUMPS AT THEM INTO FRAY
A PANTHER IS NEVER A MAN’S THREAT
EXCEPT WHEN INJURED OR FINDS , PREY ,HARD TO GET
ITS EXTINCTION IS A DANGER TO BE MET
BUT ZOOS OR SANTUARIES ARE NOT THE ONLY BET
HUMAN MIND SHOULD UNDERGO CHANGE
AT FOREST, PASTURES OR MOUNTAIN RANGE
STOP HUNTING FOR THEIR SKIN OR CLAWS
BUT PUNISH HARD THOSE WITH THESE FLAWS
