Endangered By Stranger

• Description: A poem I had to do for school. It's kind of short and doesn't need to rhyme, but I figured I might as well submit it anyway.

I am the Widemouth Blindcat,
An aquatic resider;
As a predator become I fat,
My skin has not color;

A Toothless Blindcat am I,
And a tooth, not, have I to spare;
Scavenge I the aquifer,
Unseen am I, here or there;

Through fountain I dart,
In the San Marcos and Comal am I found;
Feed I on alga and larvae,
My skin is reddish-brown;

Gambusia of San Marcos,
On larvae do I feed;
Foundn’t since ’83,
‘Cept ‘neath this reed;

Marcos’ own salamander,
Submerged ‘neath head-weed;
Brown and yellow am I,
On larvae and snails do I feed;

Same ‘cept of Texas,
And in a daze;
Uncolored and translucent,
‘Mid Purgatory Creek shall you find trace;

Untame rice of Texas,
In constant degree do I stay;
Amidst the head of San Marcos,
An aquatic grass, I shall play
