PROUD MONGOOSE!



 I’m neck-less….never romancing with stars!
I’m wing-less…never  partying in Mars
I’m height-less… never shopping for high heels
I’m weight-less…never minding how it feels!
Yes, I’m a dwarf mongoose…not afraid to loose!

Our world is harsh….…never a strip-tease in a park
Our escape is a dash….never smiling with a shark
Our motion is a rash…never laughing with grass
Our family is a lush…never fighting for lass
Yes, I’m a dwarf mongoose……not swallowed by a noose!

Alone we are stew…..our own must keep watch
Alone we are a few…our own must match
Alone we are dew…our own must strive
Alone we are ewe…our own must drive
Yes, I’m a dwarf mongoose….not praying to be a goose!

My strength is spiritual…as words of Graham!
My struggle is perpetual….as practicing Islam
My caution is continual…as tests from Satan
My choices  instinctual…. I’m as hardy as a Spartan!
Yes, I’m a dwarf mongoose….not flirting with a moose!
