Soft, sweet, innocent little thing
Still has claws and teeth that sting
But don’t be fooled by the small appearance
There is something fierce within those eyes
Playful, adorable, gentle ball of fur
Can’t seem to control those claws of hers
Something lurks beneath the surface
She grows to her full size
Coarse, firm, intimidating creature
Strong claws and wings, but her favorite feature
The thing that most don’t notice
That scorpion tail with the poisonous sting
That small adorable kitten is no longer here
In her place, a giant manticore appears
Don’t be fooled by the gentle eyes
She won’t hesitate to show you why
