in the National Geographical Magazine

Playful Pup

Don`t play with your food dear

don`t throw it up in the air

I know you need to learn to cope

but please do it all with care

it strengthens your awareness

it helps you keen your sight

but if you`re going to do it

then make sure you do it right

you young pups are so eager

to show off how you would kill

these snow-burrowing rodents

watching you is such a thrill!!
