in chitwan tigers are on alert—

behave or else

doing what comes naturally

is a dangerous game

when you're up against bipeds

chances are you'll lose

but cooler minds prevailed

no scorched earth policy

rather—rehab and all the protein

you need

and if you're good (they say)

we'll send you home

here in chitwan it's a fair fight

mind your manners

and we'll all come out smiling

after mourning
