oh leopard leopard
i see your pretty spots
the color of snow near your ears
and colored like amber-dyed agates from the seaside

oh leopard leopard
cub-stretched belly hanging down
curved and soft like yummy cream pie
cuddly pillow for those you love

oh leopard leopard
i see your pretty spots
dark freckles from the sun and wind
signs of all the years you've lived

oh leopard leopard
can't you see you are really free?
no cage can trick you
no cruel words can kill your spirit

tomorrow will come, beautiful leopard
so leap with joy over bright flowers
hunt and eat, sleep with peace in the cool dark
and dream your wild dreams
