Shypies

trapped in the cage the two shypies wait,
one went for the food and the other saw fate,
now both sit unable to escape from the trap,
boredom sets in as they both feel like crap,
footsteps heard approaching through the leaves so dry,
the female shypie holds and begins to cry,
they see a shape but the sun is behind,
he laughs at this moment loving what he designed,
walking down the path to where the cage was set,
better than his last trap that was a simple net,
opening the top and taking her by the neck,
he turns her around to give her a check,
the male leaps out clawing at his face,
dropping the girl in a different place,
the male shypie pulls his hat over his eyes,
jumping down and running with the girl as she cries,
they hide in a log as the man searches around,
listening for them to make any hint of a sound,
he hears something coming from near a tree,
surprising what is there but they can't see,
screaming is heard as he is attacked by something big,
hearing him die as the animal snaps him like a twig,
the shypies escape and dont look back,
as they live on and thank their fate for that attack.
