Tiger Taunted

We cage them and mistreat them and now taunt them to escape. And when they do, we shoot them dead. Why? What ever happen to knowing the limits? Knowing that these cats can spring 15 ft and more carrying prey weighing 200lbs? What about tranquilizers? Why are we losing such a beautiful creature because some thoughtless child chose to commit assisted suicide by his misconduct? I have built my walls and gates really high because of this very reason, senseless people taunting my “tigers”. I know they can escaped if they are provoked enough, and I want it that way, but I don’t want standard teasing to bring them out, or that they be killed cause they did.

 

Tiger Taunted

The wall was too low to keep her in

In addition to the provocation from their taunting

Guns from the police brought her down

Excessive force by the law of that town

Rails though there, were surmountable too

The tigress was more flexible than they knew

And with drinks and marijuana and inhibitions low  

Unruly boys got their surprising blow

None of them expected the tiger to get out

They scampered at top speed with a bellowing shout

Escaped were two boys with some injuries

Dead though was the tigress and a boy from his follies
