animal world of which
we are naturally part
invades my thoughts
in the every day
makes me do better

this body and its health
reliant upon my attention
needs food and drink
and lots of exercise
first two are ok anyway

the younger me
did better it seems
although still the runt
challenges been present
from the very start

I hunt out the best food
ensure no dehydration
fix all the mechanics
as best as I can
still off rhythm

did my bit for the species
reproduction functional
raising others for the tribe
and giving out equally
great collaboration
