A mythical one to be sure. Cobbled together and a product of pure imagination. Griffin, Minotaur, Dragon, Vietnamese Unicorn (not to be confused with the kind hung as posters on the walls of pre-teen American girls,) or something of that nature.

The panther is a scary cat:
 Hardcore Hellcat primed for combat.
 Except - that is - I have to say
 The twenty hours it sleeps per day.

 sprawls puddle-strewn lane

Crocodile Wu Wei [Lyric Poem]

Sunning on the shore,
   As in days of yore
 When the ancient beast
   Stood its ground to feast,
 Waiting for one to crawl
   Near its gaping maw...
 Then, SNAP!
   CRUNCH! - Crunch - crunch...
