The Wild Animal

Oh ,what a terrible tragedy it was!                                           He murdered the complete chickens brutally.              Webcam showed the horrible scene cause.                             I was shocked by his act of gloomily                                     
                                                                                                      He was only bitten the venomous reptile                              But the story of disaster was different here                 Planned to kill the killer of vile                                              Nice nylon net was covered the cage clear                
                                                                                              Pungent odour had come from the decayed chicken.            I thought that it would tempt the beast.                               Had the hope to catch him quicken                                       
 He was seized in the strong net in twist                        
                                                                                                    
   His audacious attack ended in failure.                                  He couldn't be triumphant in the tireless endeavour            He was avoided encounters for my favour.                         
 His intelligent behaviour attracted me however                                                    
                                                                                                          I recalled Rudyard Kipling's story Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.                             
The wild animal symbolised fearlessness and rebellion.       It was the vehicle of the god of wealth maybe.                        I hesitated to kill the social animal of the civilian.     
                                                                                              Decided to free him from the strongest web.                        
Then he went on the path and disappeared.                  Though it was a superstitious act of rapid step ,                     I believed his path would bring good luck neared.
