Preyed Upon

Preyed Upon

 

There once was a bumblebee

That lost his life very suddenly

The praying mantis tore him apart

but lost his life to a meadow lark

The meadow lark flew away

To hunt again another day

A sparrow hawk watched him hide

And sank his talons in his side

The sparrow hawk ceased to be

To a hawk bigger than he

The larger one spent his day

Perched up high where he preyed
