On camera they caught a black jaguar crossing the Amazon in plain day
he was black and sleek and swam like an otter with motion and sway

Head of the wild life foundation was present ready to capture with lens
a special moment that at first looked like a crocodile, this made no sense

Black jaguars are near threatened species in Central and South America
so this big cat swimming the waters of Brazil was more then just la di da

They estimate only 600 black jaguars are left, so it was smart to mention
the footage and raise awareness in order to promote their protection  

It was a pretty smart move for that jaguar to pick that boat to swim near
I hope they will survive  for I think they are creatures to admire not fear.

Trick or treat
Half of Africa
Doesn't have food to eat
Even my very best
Still transient as the times

I taught 7th graders poetry
So I still love rolling rhymes

My regrets are many, many
My loves are distant far

Tonight the black night
Yellow moon, Vincent's stars

Youthful memories
Of lost loves and cars

Luna baby, Luna baby
Not the god called Mars

Future forward
Asian soup, Irish bars
