the secret is out: not all sloths are cute!

when I traveled in the far east, in one park
the tour guide was afraid, carried a stick, and talked about
his fears from a place we were going to cross.
he fought with one of them there. when we got there
he walked slowly like a commando in old film. with his stick.
we got to the spot, turned around a bush, and a chicken
ran out screaming and flying, he almost popped in his pants
&I almost pissed myself laughing.
