The Natural Life

He made my heart a-flutter,
He put me in a tizzy,
Awesome presence, oozing sex,
He made my senses dizzy.

I wanted to lay down for him,
I wanted mastery,
I wanted domination
He was everything to me.

Then I told him of my life,
This tropical wonderland,
Where nature rules in all it's glory,
But did he understand?

I invited to this idyll,
This natural free life,
To the creatures and the denizens,
Away from human strife.

When the five inch centipede
Bit me on the inner thigh,
Did he crave to take it's place?
No, he cringed and shuddered. Why?

When the twelve foot python launched itself,
And fastened on my arm,
Did he want to writhe on me instead?
No - I began to lose my charm.

Describing how the feral cat,
Predated on my pussy (feline),
Gushing gouts of blood when shot,
He lost the will to dine.

Crocodiles can only run 17 k per hour,
Faster far are cassowaries, minus lethal tail,
Flies and ticks and platypi, friendly critters all,
Mosquitoes want to share their blood, but only the female.

So the irukanji jellyfish, the stonefish and blue octupi,
Can fibrillate or ennervate your heart,
The extremities start tingling and you make to salivate,
I'm just another creature with love's dart.


The clacking swarm of glossy ants,the green ones martial stance,
Minute ruddy fire types, with mandibles and lance,
All welcome him in warm embrace, drive off any chill,
Heighten nerves and swell the parts, that bring to me a thrill.


We wanted him to link with us,
But we won't see him again,
He's terrified of integrating,
In our elegant food-chain.
