Felix’s world is full of snarling beasts,
coming at him from this way and that.  

The only way for him to stay alive
is to snarl right back, and learn to bite.  

He has no choice; they never gave him one.  
He succeeds in this, the wild survival game.

Cavemen reacted very similarly... The hunter
and the prey.

Magnus,

Thanks for the read and comment.

All humans live in their environs.  It’s not all Hilton Head is it.  One of my favorite cousins used to have a place there.  I’ll have to visit someday.

Secondhanddreampoet,

Thanks for the kind words and the applause.  I’m pleased it worked for you.

Bobby

Survival is man's most basic of instincts. We all do this to preserve the human species as it is...survival of the fittest. You go Felix!

Ruth,

What you say is very true.  I think sometimes that Felix wishes he didn’t have to act so instinctively all the time.  

However, then, he wouldn’t be Felix, would he?

Sally and Felix send their best.

Bobby
