Dominant
Hackled bulk and snarl assert
genetic whip hand bared, transfixing
sly usurpers prowling harem skirt.
Monkey leader's bluffs avert
reciprocated wounds, thus fixing
fittingness of troop displayed overt.
Females bearing babes are curt
to interlopers fixed on nixing
status quo, by seeking to subvert.
Yet DNA reverts inert
without a pinch of intermixing,
whence their disconcerting urge to flirt.
