Survival of the Fittest

Watched a nature program about Africa last night And the animals that roam free what a glorious sight Survival of the fittest Can make us grimace As the prey succumbs in a fight for their life Hard to watch!!! © Jack Ellison 2015

Yes, it can get gruesome out there in the wild. I love this limerick though. You find inspiration in everything! Always, Laura

Hey... Dragon is a free range Dragon.... And you might say... It's survival of the fittest when we go any where... Think I might get a T Shirt that says 'I Survived Dragon'. Cool! Don't you think?

The program I was referring to showed the lions taking down zebras among others! Not a nice sight... too graphic! xxxxxxx
