They warned me–it is not
like I was ignorant
of what could befall me–
my might and fright,
should I venture indoors.
We need a leopard, they
said, for quick scene in film.
Look, they said, we laid a rug
of the finest grasses
for your comfort. Quick snap
and you are free to go with
our complimentary store
-house of food. Enough to last
through harsh winter. I was
tempted. That’s how they get you.
So I saunter in, pose, and they loose
that hidden fan. Wham! My mighty
spots hit the wall. No longer am I
a proud leopard. Do not become spotless.
It is humiliating.
Oh, I love the way you took the picture, nice!

They may have needed a leopard but they got a cheetah. At least it also has spots! 😉
