Ecstasy
Ecstasy of the Mother
__________________
Every step of the male tiger Samba looked suspicious
Close to her cubs he was circling threateningly
Seeing him that way, Maya, the female was alert
There and then she deserted her four cubs
And lured him away by courting hotly for mating
Samba lost himself into what he had been after
Young cubs thus saved by the caring mom fake mating
