The lady said to the tiger, as they stood behind some doors,
|
"I'm sick of this job. I don't know what we're waiting here fors.
|
I'm turning off life support. I'm putting an end to this joke."
|
The tiger thought about this, and then the tiger spoke.
|
|
"Starving the beast, at the very least, will just increase its hunger.
|
Go right ahead and starve me dead. It will only make me stronger."
|
|
The lady said, "I'm bustin' out of this prison. I got laser vision, and I'm burning a hole in the wall."
|
The tiger said "Wait, you'll start a fire, destroy the entire lady and the tiger hall.
|
|
"Felines and dames in flames will hardly serve your aims.
|
Do you surmise it's wise to have laser beams emitting from your eyes?"
|
|
"Point taken, cat. I can well see that our lives are worth protecting,
|
but I submit it's time we quit this hoping and expecting.
|
|
"Felines and dames in flames will hardly serve my aims,
|
but in my dreams, it seems that my eyes are always shooting laser beams."
|
|
The hall remains, it still contains a pair of doors, a choice.
|
Behind one door, a muffled roar, behind the other, a voice.
