A fable on a jungle story
The routine music played in the jungle book,
the tiger was on its round, out like a crook.

It spotted a deer and thought" I shall devour you, my longing ",
lest, it would have seen the elephant lurking.

The trumpets bellowed, the drums rhythmically warned,
the tiger was now with a competitor to its title, profound.

Disturbance to its ego, was not what he was used to,
the witness to this, was interestingly lured by these two.

An ant it was, the little sneak,
in the night it went to the tigers creek.

He told the tiger " I have a way to make you king ",
all you have to do is, to your fur, let me cling.

The following day another battle scene was created,
and the plan, the duo made also unfolded.

The tiger quickly transfered the ant to the elephant's skin,
the elephant felt an itching sensation begin.

It swung its tail to the left and its head to the right,
It made the elephant a laughing sight.

The elephant, now embarrassed and sad, began to cry,
while the ant and the tiger were in the sky.

So in the end all that I will convey,
Is however light you may be, its courage that wisdom will weigh.
