their real name is Honey-Eater of the Cape
skunk-looking creatures unafraid of a snake
also known as honey badgers who have no fear
of any animal, big or small, who comes near
it’s wise to avoid these cousins of the weasel family
known for being quarrelsome, filthy and smelly
most people think honey is their favorite food
but it’s the bee larvae inside that are being skewed
honey badgers grunt, squeak, hiss and whine
and often leave, when frightened, a smelly trail behind
yes, they do have a sweet tooth for honey too
and they’re fierce fighters unafraid of coming after you!
