Ode to a Panda’s Panda

More trailblazing

more Avant-garde

than a man’s man

who needs other men

to surround him—oh no,

you are the panda’s panda

most at ease with

your panda self

the pinnacle of panda-ness;

you are the panda’s panda.

Solitary in searches and hunts

a panda’s panda is a master forager,

a connoisseur

of vegetarianism

with a most discerning palate

sniffing out superb ’boo shoots

and an uncanny skill

of locating the tastiest

of tasty bamboo

a champion climber with ease.

Scaling trees

with agility and speed

more silent than a whisper.

a panda’s panda

doesn’t sweat the small

stuff, and it’s all small stuff,

indeed, a panda’s panda

can take his rest

most any time of the day

on a moment’s notice.
