Can a Leopard Change Its Spots?
Can a leopard change its spots?
Would it like pink polka dots?
How about yellow and green?
Or zig-zag lines aquamarine?
Would they like paisley designs?
Or would a ditsy look be fine?
Something floral might suffice
And gingham would look awfully nice
Perhaps some diamond-patterned fur
Is what a leopard might prefer
Or maybe just some tye-dye swirls
with multi-colored, twirly whorls?
Can a leopard change its spots?
I’d love to hear some of your thoughts
If you could paint the leopard new
What are some things that you would do?
Would it like pink polka dots?
How about yellow and green?
Or zig-zag lines aquamarine?
Would they like paisley designs?
Or would a ditsy look be fine?
Something floral might suffice
And gingham would look awfully nice
Perhaps some diamond-patterned fur
Is what a leopard might prefer
Or maybe just some tye-dye swirls
with multi-colored, twirly whorls?
Can a leopard change its spots?
I’d love to hear some of your thoughts
If you could paint the leopard new
What are some things that you would do?
