The Tigered Cage
The circus done, the circus train
pulled out of town in the wind and rain,
across the plain, then into hills,
and higher yet, into mountains with thrills.
But when the tempest broke out along a mighty front,
the train in the mountains was but a runt
of a toy on trick tracks with which the storm played,
and strained wheels screeched as cars were swayed.
Yet with the circus opening the very next day
in another town still far away,
the train pressed on with reckless speed,
not heeding the danger, obsessed by need.
Thus it entered into the trestled pass—
whipped with gusts and going much too fast,
and at the turn that screamed for ultimate *slow!*
it lurched and leaped in lost control.
Though metal strained insanely as it sideways flailed,
the circus train did not derail.
Yet the chains on the flatcar clangored, snapped and zinged:
the tigered cage had broken free and taken to wing.
Toppling and twisting down trellis and slope,
this tripping cage did now bring new hope
to the tiger tired of old iron bars
and riding endlessly on flatbed railroad cars.
End over end and bump upon bump,
the bars bent a little more with every thump.
The tiger roared as downward it hurled,
awaiting its moment to rejoin a free world.
Two endings, choose one:
1)
They found the cage, sans tiger, of course.
and for the loss of the tiger they felt great remorse.
Now that tiger roams free in the forest at night
reinvigorating its world with burning bright fright.
2)
They found the cage, sans tiger, of course.
And for the loss of the tiger they felt great remorse.
But for Tony the Tiger is was a great break
as he's now spending his life eating Frosted Flakes!

i like ending number one...
but then again, i'm a thrill seeker and would find a loosed tiger both exciting and scary... not knowing if i was going to end up one of his meals or not....
yup, definitely like the first ending... *big grin*

RYC: Wise-ass... LOL
You shall find me where you least expect to... Ha!
Peace to you, my notforprophet
Ah! Decisions, decisions....
Number 1 for me!
I like 1 sans commercialism
Ha, yesterday was the Great Circus parade in a nearby town (home of Barnum and Bailey).
And, of course, X and I visited two tiger cubs this last Wednesday.
Not that you needed to know ...
(1) of course.
i'd bet for #2 - if you get some sponsorship from the Manifacturer.....
I prefer the mystery left hanging.
2 made me giggle
didnt realise you had sugar frosties over there too...even if they do have a different name
How come some of my friends get redirected to this site instead of my site when they type in my url!?
just what i need....a craving.
ryc: Honestly, I hid in my office for hours and hoped that no one would knock at the door. Everything about it grates at my nerves: the noise, the energy, the movement. I really do find silence precious and necessary.
hey thanks for calling me. leave a comment on mine.
