Ode to the Cheetah

Start writing... My bright cheetah, you inspire me to write.

I love the way you prowl, waddle and bounce,

Invading my mind day and through the night,

Always dreaming about the funny jounce.

Let me compare you to a light balloon?

You are more clever, generous and huge.

Right sun heats the empty peaches of June,

And summertime has the comical stooge.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.

I love your white elbows, legs and humour.

Thinking of your benchmark legs fills my days.

My love for you is the sunny rumer.

Now I must away with a cunning heart,

Remember my stark words whilst we're apart.
