Cheetah Babies
The cheetah babies looked around
Like sourpusses do,
So tired out that they both frowned,
As they felt somewhat blue
Plum tuckered out! Fatigued, all in
Their little legs quite weak,
Their present mood was numbed, chagrin,
No grin at all, just pique
Their parents gave them time and space
The twins were known for this
No stamina to keep the pace
So things were bound to fizz
So things went quiet for a while
As they remained so still
Almost as if each lost his smile
And life had lost its thrill
Tomorrow they will both go nuts!
You'll see, it never fails!
Their smiles as bright as megawatts!
Together, chasing tails!
Like energetic so-and-sos
Chaotic and Hell-bent
They'll keep their parents on their toes
Till all their strength is spent!
