Circle Of Life Poem by Randy McClave

A roach is afraid of a mouse and a rat
And those rodents are afraid of a cat,
A cat isn't afraid or a bug or a frog
But, the cat is indeed is afraid of a dog.
A dog isn't afraid of raccoons in a trash can
But, it is deeply afraid of man,
Man is always atop of the defense chain
And to that fact to others he will shout out and claim.
Man of course isn't afraid of anything in his house
But, man is deeply afraid of his spouse,
And seeing a roach frightens her and gives her strife,
And that my friend is the circle of life.
