Lions, Tigers, Jaguars!

So many big cats lurk out there! They prowl by day and night! Enough to give your heart a scare And make you gulp with fright! Enough to make you run a mile, Four minutes, maybe less... Enough to make that big cat smile And smirk with happiness! A head start you may have, my friend, But can it you maintain? Or in the background there to blend And patiently remain? Or can you climb the tallest tree Those big cats would refuse, Purrchance another day to see And not fall down and bruise? Oh, my! I think I'll stay at home! Watch telly and stay safe! No point in going out to roam, You see, I'm not that brave... I'm not like Stephen Gayford is, Exploring far and wide! I think I should give that a miss... Buy paintings here... and hide! Denis Martindale, copyright, August 2013. Stephen Gayford is a wildlife photographer who then sketches and creates detailed paintings... He visits wildlife parks and reserves to get the close-up views of these incredible big cats. I'm the guy who stays at home who'd rather stay alive and buy his big cat wildlife prints. I found a wildlife big cat website which featured my poem, Snow Leopard, which is all about that Stephen Gayford painting. There are some great right-hand screen lynx, erm, links to purruse..
