Tiger, Tiger

Funny shepherd boy Had no chance to play with toys Always spent day with buffaloes and sheep Jungle was his hide out to keep Once he thought of playing gimmick He had no idea as how to play serious trick He thought over number of ideas but put off its execution He could not convince himself for the firm resolution He was restless for number of days Finally he decided to raise far reaching cry For seeking assistance in distress He thought people may rush to him in any case “Tiger, tiger” he shouted with frightful voice People heard his call and rushed immediately for assistance They rushed with spears, swords and arrows To their utter amusement they found him with whistle’s blow People warned him for funny trick They threatened him with long stick “You will receive no help in future” villagers warned “Oh never mind, I shall manage” he answered After few days the tiger really pounced on her live stocks He was in danger and shouted for village folks Everybody took it as simple joke and did not respond He was spared by tiger but many sheep were killed
