Notes About The Poem

My wife and I visited South Africa just after the great disaster of the towers on 9/11/2001. We had the opportunity to pet an adult female Cheetah while an adult male was looking on in the same enclosure. We also got to see and hold baby Cheetahs and adopt one to help financially. It would be such a shame if these great cats become extinct.

Look for the dual meaning
