Kama Sutra Chameleon
This is the missionary position:
I am still on top. I have real zeal,
and will put on a spurt. Lie back.
This is the crouch:
spring into action, and you won't know
where I am coming from. Ouch.
This is the fox on the run:
my horn is my trumpet. With one bound
I will hunt with the hounds, barking.
This is the pink octopus:
a squirt of ink, and a bunch of suckers.
Or is that a different cuttlefish entirely?
This is the dromedary jump:
one hump, and my lickspittle's sticky.
Try to dislodge me. Tricky.
This is the laughing hyena:
facing both ways, and intent on carrion.
Persistent and clever. A joy, as ever.
