It seems nothing bothers the rocks, on the ridge
Devouring the tasty succulents, each, one at a time
Was exquisite, nothing wasted, not even a smidge
Poor cacti, trying hard to escape the stone clutches
They would squiggle and squirm, but to no avail
Eventually, they simply gave up the brave fight
Losing the struggle, as the bigger rocks did inhale
When the smallest pebbles, had been fully sated
They began their tumble, down the mountainside
Grateful, at last, to be rid of those pesky boulders
The cacti, once again, could now safely abide…
