Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright But what if you don’t see it Night after Night? Wouldn’t it be annoying? Wouldn’t you be ruffled? You didn’t need this journey, you were fine with your truffles? But if you were shown more than the beast? Some bears, some crocs, Some dhols at a feast? Wouldn’t that be nice? Wouldn’t that be grand? Nature’s show; you at bandstand. Now add to the circus Some deer and antelope Barasinghas’ ruckus While Chital elope Such divine concoction Like none ever seen, With Orioles and Magpies And the grand Peregrine. The verse isn’t over For there’s a lot more to see A lot more to cover Oh did we talk about starbeds? With shooting stars flying over? And while other trips may cramp you In jeeps and in jeeps You’d be glad if you’d knew About how to stretch your feet For the icing on the cake And the cherry on the icing You would see the Taj The caves; temples enticing For that’s how we thought Wildlife trips should be As life in essence Thrives on diversity
