Following the beaten path can make life easier, but always be prepared for the unexpected.

When out on the trail,
she had to beware,

Of those who would want
her hide to ensnare.

Her muscles meant food
to those who ate meat,

So she needed wits
and very swift feet.

With life on the line
outside of the briars,

She never went out,
without linesman pliers.
