Image: 2 Wyoming's Pronghorn, fastest land animal
in North America, running up to 55 mph (here)
Sunday Whirl given words:
dash deny evict flee free nick scent
subside threat trick
try valley
We pronghorn can make a dash for it
No denying we are the fastest around here
We do not suffer the luxury of eviction
Free to flee in the nick of time
Just a whiff of your stained scent
Of which we are excellently endowed
The smell of your kind do not subside
You are a threat to mankind
Your tricks expended very generously
A good try on the gullible
Can be seen through the glass panel
How they suffer and beg for the crumbs
How you twist them around your fingers
They are happy lapping on the goodies
Not realizing they've been had
Who are you?
You are just like us
When scraping the barrel
But then you turn into a monster
When the greenbacks begin to ooze out of your ears
We have no place for you in this valley!

ReplyDeleteWho knows if the humans are digging the earth for themselves by playing with nature!
ReplyDeleteenjoy reading that!
ReplyDeleteWe are all alike when scraping the barrel...survival is sometimes necessary wherever we maybe

We've all been to the bottom of the barrel at some point
ReplyDeleteits interesting trying to get into the mind of these creatures; though our mindset will merge with theirs; a very creative write

Digging for oil. I'm sure that would mess up the area.
ReplyDeleteI think that photo is actually of a mule deer. Pronghorn only have two 'horns.'
Thanks Alex. I don't really know. The caption says it is a pronghorn. I was suspiciously thinking it was a stag of some kind, too!
DeleteHank
Humans evict animals without a care, many greedy ones at least. The bottom of the barrel is never fun.
ReplyDeleteSomehow we always seem to follow the trail of destructiveness.. there are people who should be exposed to those horns.
ReplyDeleteThe oozing of greenbacks is music to the corrupt!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the prompts and totally different which I love!
