Himalayan Animals

(Heroic Sonnet)

Would a striped hyena in the Himalayas,

Be a hilarious sight?

Could you spot a snow leopard, players

Amid the landscape of white?

You’ll find yak, elephant,

Black and brown bears too.

Nature has its own temperament,

Of their habitats making do.

There are macabre monkeys.

You may see rhinos with one horn,

Giant pandas and some foxes roaming free.

But you never will see a unicorn.

In naming large, strong creatures

There is only reverence for beauty.

This mountainous environment features,

Harshness according to duty.

In citing magnificent species

There is no hypocrisy.
