He balances himself on that narrow limb as the creek rushes beneath his feet He's a warrior in this mighty jungle and who knows what foes he'll meet He steps lightly among the rocks and trees his slingshot ever to the ready With X-Ray vision and the stealth of a cat his foot is sure and steady A Ninja warrior lurks about and a dagger may claim the day He'll make no sound and snap no twig as he inches along his way But suddenly a shadow darts among the trees and he loads his slingshot for the kill Proudly he stands over his conquered foe and every bit of it was for the thrill
a very enjoyable read reminds me of myself a bit the mad things we do when young nicely penned i enjoyed

Ty shadow..But of course I'd protect the maidens with the mighty sling shot. I even brought down a pact of T-Rex's that stormed by back yard, but hey, twern't no big thang. Lol.

Ty darkhorse..Bro you appear like the kind of guy that would accompany me on one of my dangerous expeditions. When doing battle with the King Kongs of the jungle two sling shots are better than one. Lol.
Enjoyed the read, i remember my ninja days.thank you for the read...Jesse

Ty beautifulyou.. Somewhere within the man the nine year old stands to the ready. Perhaps an executive office meeting might take a sour turn and voices are raised a bit to loud. One must be ready to restore order with that timeless hidden weapon..the Mighty Sling Shot. Lol.
