Of Service To The Tiger?
28 February, 2010
Author: Shiloh
In the jungle of life,
the tiger is the one who rules -
by threat, by fear,
by the very nature of the beast.
It is a good thing to be a friend of the tiger,
to be trusted by the tiger,
to be needed by the tiger,
and to have the ear of the tiger.
But always remember:
to be close to the ear,
you must also be close to the teeth,
and within reach of the claws.
