Coyote

A poem about the amazingly adaptable coyote

Coyote

You lived in the wild hunting rabbits and game
Like a smaller wolf child where the Buffalo roam
Then the roads and the rails and the tall buildings came
No more prairie or forest or game land to comb
But you clever coyote, oh how you changed!
Now you trek in the cities and staid neighborhoods
Eating rodents and food left by humans to find
Yet rarely you're seen in the new age brick woods
You're clever and stealthy, you're one of a kind!
