The Feast Of The Beast


Carnivorous?  Herbivore Liquid digestion?
A puzzle-some thought left for many to question
In front of their noses a banquet of food
For a furry-feast caper all bolshy and rude

They celebrate, love and hate, even mate, too
Those friends of the forest and not of the zoo
All huddled together and fighting for space
With cream cakes and attitude smeared on their face

Over and over the squeaks and the squalls
Get so agitated from nothing at all
A mountain of bodies all twisted and coiled
Such pathetic behaviour, when heavily roiled 
 
Wilderness calling them, what do they care?
When the Queen of the Woods throws such swanky affairs
It's no real fulfillment coterie provides 
When instinct gate crashes those cravings inside

Calm predate, lie in wait, nature kicks in
Clawing out eyeballs and tearing at skin 
Bloody raw, bones to gnaw, catch and then kill
Prey! No party animal matches that thrill
