Animal

He ran like a cheetah
He had the hearing of an elephant
His eyes were like a hawks
His strength was like a gorilla
His skin was tough like an armored reptile
He was as animal
Agile and nimble, strong and terrible
Yellow eyes, bulging muscles
Long tangled hair
He was ugly and mean

She had a slender body
Long legs and brown eyes
Long hair, clean and auburn and beautiful
A lovely dress, all puffy and lacy
Her skin was fair and pale
She was small and helpless
She was gorgeous and likable

He loved her when he saw her
And he swung through tree to meet her
Following the beating of his heart
She was frightened at first
But slowly she fell for that animal
That ugly beast of a man
Because love is a powerful thing
