Some forms politely follow function,  
perhaps a step or two behind.  
Some lay in wait at every junction  
to prey on others of their kind.  
Still others baffled to discover  
that while they follow, rivals hover,  
and mirror function step by step  
while sparing neither fuss or prep.  
But on occasion, there's a factor  
that simply makes you say aha,  
what you might call je ne sais quoi  
if you were labeling an actor,  
and those lead function by the nose.  
I think I'll have me one of those.
