TANKA
Domesticated & Wild
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
domesticated
snakes… no… do not doubt the fact
a 16 foot boa contrictor
can eat an adult human
reptiles always remain wild
~~~
felines big or small
domesticated… yes… but…
retain their wild side
its in their nature to hunt
big cat owners be aware
~~~
domesticated
at eachothers beck and call
don’t procrastinate
take turns at housekeeping
party wild all through the night

I meant your phrase – ‘those that care, etc.’ Seems to sum up a lot!
