Coyotes are perhaps best known for flaunting <br />Boundaries of every sort. Most folks agree <br />Their behavior does not showcase healthy family <br />Values. To challenge such consensus is daunting. <br /> <br />Coyotes mate for life, or till their pups are grown, <br />And faithful they remain. Even alpha leaders <br />Who could assert their choice in breeders <br />Instead respect others’ unions, and their own. <br /> <br />Coyote couples are domestic to the core. <br />They tend their pups between their labors, <br />Nuzzle often, rarely feud with neighbors, <br />Hold sing-alongs in the moonscape they adore. <br /> <br />Wary of man’s world but certainly not quitters, <br />Coyotes don’t run, they just bear larger litters.<br /><br />Chuck Toll<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/coyote-ways/
