Jim Corbett great stories of maneaters told <br />For some tigers become maneaters when they grow old <br />For a frail or injured tiger a Human Being is easier prey <br />But for killing a Human a tiger with his or her life has to pay. <br /> <br />To a tiger a Human Being is something it can eat <br />As a tiger is a meat eater so it needs meat <br />A Human Being or a buffalo to him the same <br />It kills because it has to without remorse or shame. <br /> <br />Jim Corbett who killed many a maneater has a park in India named in his name <br />And his stories of hunting maneaters they brought him great fame <br />But tigers only kill because they have a need to <br />And the tiger to it's nature is only being true. <br /> <br />Jim Corbett wrote of man eating tigers and of how he tracked them down <br />And his stories have earned him a place in renown <br />But for the most part a tiger has to be either very old or ill <br />Before a Human Being it will bother to kill.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jim-corbett/
