centipedes

Read the living forest,
Flourishing as bugs infest.
However, do not feel,
Listen, a potential meal.


Tip, tap, tip, tap.
The leaves, rustled and rasp,
Skitter, skatter.
The bug, fleeing faster.


Thousands of legs,
There will be no rest,
Move, move!
Oh, no longer true.


Feast!
Don't release!
Tear this bug!
Into shrubs!


The centipede,
a powerful stampede!
Hear it clench mighty jaws,
Feel it crush the bugs raw!


Rest now,
Ponder around,
Run the trail,
Without fail.
