Scavenger by very nature,
And nuisance to those
Who’d judge and propose
Only pessimism of this creature.
Though troublesome, in a sense,
To instinct it’s bound,
And blame confounds—
For its entirety mere innocence.
Lions, though great and proud, it aids—
For in its small size
And its meekness lies
True intent and respect others evade.
Despite the slightness it commands
The large elephant
Is fearful and can’t
Overcome what it doesn’t understand.
Viewed as disgusting, vile and weak
Though when the time comes
And all others run
I’ll scurry on, stand proudly, and squeak.
