Sniff
Is it a chicken?
Might it be a pigeon?
Can it be a hen?
Sniff
Maybe a pilgrim?
The little iller
Sniffs again
Sniff
It smells like a rabbit!
Smells like a crow?
It smells strange.
Sniff
It's just round the treeline
Just round the corner
Round out of range
Sniff
He takes a step closer.
Sniff
He scuttles two
Sniff
He hops a few times
Sniff
Now he hops anew
What can it be?
That leaves his senses so confused
A leap of curiosity
Is swiftly lifted and used
He raises one ear
Now that the treeline is near
And leaps around the corner
Into the palm of a bear. |
