WENT ON HUNTING

                   
        Went on hunting with revolver and gun.
        I was zealous and wished to have some fun.
        Took snacks in haversack: Bread butter bun.
        Leisurely walked, whistling: Took a turn.                       
         Met roaring tiger and started to run.
                        
         Lost all enthusiasm and vigor.
        Trembled as followed by dreadful tiger.
        Yet to make a friendship, I was eager.
        I was civilised but tiger was vulgar.
        It didn't care but rushed to me in anger.
        Got puzzled to confront danger.
        I didn’t know, how to press the trigger.

        Forward - backward : impossible to step !
        Absolutely no way to escape !
        End of the story ? Curious ?
        Answer is simple, oblivious.

          Tiger swallowed me: I was gone.
