The Lady Tiger and the Mouse

***Based upon an actual incident a friend had that had a "just" outcome!***

"The Lady Tiger And The Mouse"

She was returning home late one evening
in her pretty new black and red dress!
(He was hiding and waiting in the shadows....
an attacker's nature he did possess!)

She had a wonderful time that night
she was the belle of the ball!
(He somehow got into her building....
and he was hiding in the hall!)

She made her way 
to her apartment door
and she was entering her key!
(He silently snuck up behind her
and he atttacked her viciously!)

*****(Poetic Misfortune)*****

((It was then at this point
that everything.....
everything for him 
did change!
He made the biggest 
mistake of his life
Believe......
He was really out of his range!!!))

************************

She did not panic 
and she remembered
all she had learned 
in her class! 
She kneed him right 
in his manhood-
and she then started kicking his....
"BUTT!"  :-)

The "Tigress" in her...
it did surface!
She said....
"This will not be done!"
(He never knew what hit him-
all he wanted to do was run!)

Her elbow to his jaw
knocked him quickly 
to the floor!
(He actually tried to crawl away-
he did not want this anymore!)

Her neighbors 
heard the commotion
and they quickly dialed 911!
(This man became a cowardly lump-
for him in no way was this fun!)

When the police arrived, 
Oh, they found him,
he hadn't "crawled" very far!
They handcuffed him 
and took him away........
This is why his evening 
turned "bizarre!"

Little did he know 
in his wildest dreams
that the "Woman" 
he chose to attack.....
had trained and earned 
a "black belt"....
and "special" skills 
she did not lack!

Now....
she was a classmate!
We were relieved 
for the way things 
turned out!
She did what 
she had to do 
that night
and she left no room 
for doubt!

So in the end 
it turned out right!
See.......
her attacker 
happened to be her 
"ex-spouse"....
but his cowardice 
has allowed me
to write and call this......
"The Lady Tiger And The Mouse!"
