A rummaging traveler picking in the sun
Will be spotted.A subtle one has few cares about
What society will have him allotted.In the daylight, when it's loud
A predator does creep.But at night when it's quiet
Subtlety will eat.Never wary of coming into
A reversal of this act.While loud critters scamper and scream
From a carnivore attack.The quiet one sleeps safe underground
Surviving for another round.
