Pounce not like Tiger on lone backwoods fields
Never know who’d be chasing balls fallen into holes
Balls roll back to earth from smooth Elysian fields
Villanelle: The Dilemma of the Non-Violent – 27
Pounce not like Tiger on lone backwoods fields
Never know who’d be chasing balls fallen into holes
Balls roll back to earth from smooth Elysian fields
Stuff the coffin with hot golf balls till it yields
Watch that swing cuff not some angel’s soft turf curls
Pounce not like Tiger on lone backwoods fields
Learn to swing the club of all sizes and wields
Too late when on Heaven’s downy udders’ twirls
Balls roll back to earth from smooth Elysian fields
Train that eye to watch how balls shoot through cloud shields
For once on that turf sound of choir psalms rolls
Pounce not like Tiger on lone backwoods fields
Swing that club while you can on mad muddy fields
Till muscle bone and nerve combine swing as bowls
Balls roll back to earth from smooth Elysian fields
What particles swing through which magnetic fields
To shape humans who roll (like) golf balls into holes
Pounce not like Tiger on lone backwoods fields
Balls roll back to earth from smooth Elysian fields
Well, My Lord Senor Don Ron, I thought I'd do well to say it again:
'ALL Hail, Senor Don Ron, Sir ! Glad to know H.N.'s back to give you HELL minus stress. At least, now, the homestretch will be paved with tell-tale stress marks to guide you over the bed of roses.
Even if your artificially constructed lines and rhymes don't do you justice as a supreme AD critic, your "gamesmanship" in bearing with us all DOES. Thanks ever so much for that ! Let me say it now and here before I, too, disappear: You are, indeed, one of the MOST - if not the MOST intelligent person - I have ever come across ! Well, you know the rest.'

Real Tigers are only interested in food. But an occasional white hunter makes a nice snack for a mother tiger and her half grown cubs.
