A bushman from the jungles of Zimbabwe <br />revealed a secret of a highly precious nature. <br />He told me, at the time the bell has tolled, <br />the lion whispers these profound and pregnant words: <br />'It's quite alright, my dear, it's quite alright! ' <br />His jaws then shut with rather merciless aplomb. <br />And, quite secure in the belief of his compassion, <br />he lives another day to hunt anew tomorrow. <br />And no one asks unlucky Miss Gazelle <br />just how she feels about her dinner invitation.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bush-wisdom/
