 while pigeons remain
  oblivious.

When Daniel Boone goes by, at night,
 The phantom deer arise
 And all is lost, wild America
 Is burning in their eyes.

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.

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...
