I was waiting for him, with the proverbial bated breath
And he unsuspectingly kept moving towards almost certain death
My claws were unsheathed, and sharpened to a point
So near, and he still didn’t see me, like he’d just smoked a joint
Like all humans, he too was filled with arrogance and pride
Qualities that we supreme predators learn early to deride
I will eat his large, juicy tummy first, I quickly made up my mind
And only then will I start chewing on his more than ample behind
He kept walking towards me, and now stood at just the right spot
I was ready to pounce and strike while the iron was hot
But suddenly, I froze in raw fear, and then started running helter skelter to avoid detection
When I saw that the damned Indian tourist had got along a polar bear for his protection
