The Hunt

another day, another drake
the warriors grumble but go on
chimeric spawn of bat and snake,
we’ll hunt you till the break of dawn
your days of butchering our sheep
are at an end, we do not sleep

oh mighty warrior, don’t kill!
the last descendants of our breed
deny yourself this sordid thrill
for when you cut us, don’t we bleed?
endangered species act, rejoice!
and now it seems, you have no choice
