Say a word for the Kzinti,

gulping flesh with acrimony

days on end with friend Jotoki.

Monkey-meat is kind of bony.

Kzin with no name know their station,

and females don’t make conversation.

Say a word for the Kzinti.

“Heroes’ Tongue,” so hard to master.

“Monkey Man” tries but disaster,

causing “Ratcat” noble person’s

disposition tend to worsen.

Say a word for the Kzinti.

A “Scream and Leap,” Kzin’s tradition –

 his strategic-attack position.

Say a word for the Kzinti.

You don’t want Kzin as neighbor,

fangs and claws sharp like a razor.

Say a word for the Kzinti.
