there was a young leopard
that morning in the sun
on hearing our joyous footfalls
it hailed out, "Having fun?!"
alas, not knowing, poor thing,
we didn't follow jungle tongue
and off we ran in such haste
as a question kept hovering:
"Having fun?!"
This poem is inspired by events that occurred during a trek with a friend on 10th November 2012. Though the creature
was not seen, circumstantial evidence suggests that we had a narrow escape.
