Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
A tent does give some protection

( 100 word)No Laughing Matter

by persevere

Non arboreal
And cursorial
Sometimes spotty
Even stripey
Using jaws
And not its claws
To consume its prey
Just straight away

Very vocal
Local yokel
Whines and moans
Giggles and groans
Nothing meaner
Than hyena
Turning sharply
Active nightly

The heat of day
Not passed away
Made tourist decide
To sleep outside
She awoke to a smell
And had visions of hell
The crunching of bone
She found was her own

A scream erupted
Her face corrupted
Help came quickly
To a scene so sickly
Hyena seen running
Grunting and laughing
Tourist air lifted
For face to be treated
