Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required Christian And The Tiger Christian returned from church Feeling worse for the experience; Sunday! Restless with nothing to do Christian decided to visit the zoo. The people there were strolling about: Arm in arm, hand in hand, and in places Mouth in mouth, Black people, yellow people, white people And children lost, crying for a policeman As their mothers instructed. The hippo yawned at the man in Bermudas snapping pictures; A thin woman threw peanuts which the elephant ignored; The zebra defecated, intensely studied by a soldier. The reptiles were motionless: An alligator stared mysteriously, like eyes behind sunglasses; The monkeys were bored, except for the gorilla Whish put a half-orange in its mouth and smiled — Sunkist The restless cats all paced their cells Except a tiger keeping silent vigil on the passing crowd. Christian stood alone with the cat, saddened in its plight, Letting remorse wash over him until ... It was even stronger than the smell from the Bengal’s cage. Then he gripped the rail retainer and cried aloud, ‘Release the tiger! Let him be free like me.’ His voice echoed but went unheard. The tiger, tilting its head to the left, Spoke: ‘Weep not for me, Christian; Know you not that we are both imprisoned? Your cell is merely larger, with more companions; I was once free; can you say the same, O sad one? As you see me, so I see you: Behind bars. Tell me, Christian, For which captive do you weep?’ The truth the tiger spoke Shocked him more than the situation So Christian left the beast to his silent vigil. He roamed the boulevard Window-shopping with his thoughts Until the sun was setting. Then, with gnawing hunger He paced the silent steps To his row home and supper And the remainder of Sunday’s routine. Back at the zoo — it was feeding time E.J. Hudak ca. 1969
