Shreya Ln Poet Verse

The Cat

The little beast 
Had the same routine, day in and day out
Until one day, two bigger beasts made to the cat, a plea
Teach us how to live, show us the route
The cat, determined to do good
Taught the Lion and the Tiger 
How to hunt and how to sprint 
How to sleep and how to eat 
How to love and how to mate
It took a while, much was explained 
They all sat down and took a deep breath 
We did it fellas, I taught you everything you need
Oh but the tables turned 
As soon as the Cat said these words
The Lion and the Tiger gave each other the signal 
They pounced on the cat and chased him through the woods 
The cat was well prepared 
Never trust completely, his mom would say 
He ran and ran 
The bigger beasts chased along
The cat leaped and climbed atop a tree
The Lion and the Tiger were confused as could be 
The cat never taught them how to climb 
Who betrayed whom, who committed the crime?

Christuraj Alex July 3, 2021 at 10:08 AM Who betrayed whom, who committed the crime? The moral of the story is clear. Beautiful write, Shreya. Shreya Ln July 6, 2021 at 6:33 AM I too feel the moral is quite clear. Who do you think committed the crime?
