Lizard eats spider: film at eleven
Indiff'rent to the Shape that blocks the sun
Without concern for that that isn't shade
The overheated lizard makes his run
To shadows where no sunlight yet has played
The chill of night still lingers somewhat there
And groggy bugs still clumsy with the cold
Supply a chance for multi-leggéd fare
For reptiles who are hungry and so bold
(Or merely dim) that hourglass shiny red
Does not alarm nor take them off their tracks.
A blur of teeth and scales! a spider dead!
A lizard not yet sated wants more snacks.
So grateful I, that my legs number two
And that I'm rather more than he can chew.

How about things that eat things ...
