The Snow Leopard

 

The Snow Leopard
 
Look at the furry head!
It’s small, beady eyes are as black as the night sky.
The pointy ears are listening for his next meal.
Don’t move; he might see you!
 
Look at the powerful paws!
Those claws are as sharp as a razor.
His legs are as furry as a cat.
Listen; can you hear the padding paws?
 
Look at the curvy, bushy tail!
It sways and swishes from side to side.
The wagging tail tells us “stay back!”
Watch out; he’s getting closer!
 
Look at the way he proudly plods along.
He pushes his paws through the icy cold snow.
He moves as slow as a tortoise.
Keep still; he’s about to pounce!
