100 Ways to Make a Llama Dizzy
For DK Shepard's Keep It 100 Challenge

100 ways to make a llama dizzy?
Curious? Tipping it upside down
Maybe blindfolding it, changing its environment
From South Australia to Scotland
So was I, until I started thinking
and felt my mind wander,
and remembered
the shocking, disgusting truth
about the beautiful Amur Leopards
there are only roughly one hundred
still living in the wild
then forgot about the llamas and dizziness—
all I could feel was the blind rage,
the desire for 100 ways to make
loggers, hunters, industrial businessowners, and farmers
pay a weighty price... for cutting the majestic beast
to almost extinction like its majesty was nothing
There is no excuse, justification, and yet no recompense
Dished out to those deserving
like an unrelenting, fierce storm.
