Me and the Tiger

I was sleeping with my childhood friend in the loosed cot. The weak boy was recovering from two months long typhoid's knot. November night not so hot But pleasant time stayed a lot. The nightmare began with Running and shouting of villagers From hill side to their nests. Unfortunately It was the daily routine From home to hill after a night's rest. A roaring tiger with red eyes Was chasing them to get more cries. Villagers were healthy and strong So they can run fast to save their lives. Feeble can't compete them in race So it was me who was going to be prey. The real chase in false world I ran as fast as i could But damn tiger had more power If trees can hide they certainty try Perhaps the devil's eyes forgot to blink So i have to climb up But the damn followed me. When I saw danger without think Jumped from the thin boughs And ran towards the high wall. The clear warning was written there ' Be aware of dogs ' but who read and care By hook and cook i climbed on wall Seeing the dogs i recognised my fault The danger was on both sides So without thinking i turned back twice. Trembling and sweating in cold night i was neither living nor dying Silently pray my lord to save my life Got blessed very soon Opened eyes in full moon Relaxed when found in the cot Lying beside the buddy as ice hot. That horrible night Me and the tiger Played hide and seek Closed eyes the tiger chase Opened eyes friend beside But thank the Almighty Who saved me with all priority.
