It’s not मर्कट

It purrs but it's not

any sort of Domestic

short hair or long hair

or Cheetah if you please

neither Siamese nor

Chihuahua nor Labrador

nor Pug though it does

come in packs of three,

or seven, or even thirty,

though it's not called that,

but two's a "mob," and yet,

it does just fine

on its own, as a pet

not quite legal, only

merely so... it chatters,

even spits and growls

or barks in alarm..!

It's not much of a poet

though it does favor

William S. Burroughs

in a way, and breeds

in heavy rainy seasons

as much as it digs...

all of southern Africa

with light striped brindle

It's not a ferret, nor

lizard, though mostly

insectivorous ...

It doesn't do so

very well indoors

being all so very curious

On hind legs with pointed snout

it's even shaped something

Guess who, and you have a clue

Southern oceans are scarcely populated.

Humongous swimmers (sometimes) cease to not stop swimming.

Atlantic oceans store.

Respective masters eat.

King-sized beasts score as,

Sharp teeth reign.

Guess Who

Furry face, bright eyes

Cute whiskers twitching

He spends all his days

Swimming the river.

Cute whiskers twitching

Playful and funny

Swimming the river

A joyful spirit.

Playful and funny

Slipping and sliding

A joyful spirit

He loves the water.

Playful and funny

He spends all his days

Swimming the river

A joyful spirit.

Guess me

With four legs I stand tall, looking like a wonderful piece of art.

My black and white strips different me from all others.

The rarest type of me is depicted in the color of a rainbow.

Find me

Find me! I am double coloured.

Find me! I am spotted all over.

Find me! I am white in colour.

Find me! I am black in colour.

I am the cute little thing,

I am the smart little thing.

Devils come around me.

I am the apple of everyone's eye. Find me! Find me! Find me!

I am your best friend you love me.
