The Survival Technics - New Version Poem by Prem Nizar Hameed

The Survival Technics - New Version



The lion
That broke its backbone
Now hides in a leopard's cave;

The leopard
That broke its one leg
Now lives on the leftovers
Left by a python;

The python
That dislocated its bottom jaw
Now stays in a tiger's den

And the tiger
That witnessed all these scenarios
Now seeks an advice from a fox

The fox,
Still cunning at counseling,
Succinctly puts its report:
'All these happened unexpectedly
As a result of lack of planning.
So, before foreseeing a meadow
You better ally with a sheep in advance,
That would shield you from the old adage:
If pushed down by misfortune,
Even a tiger will eat grass'
