Abdullah Sholet became her full time carer
\n25 years old and apparently
\nReady to take on a job of looking after a tiger cub
\nAt an Islamic school where both could be
\nMULAN Jamilliah a Bengal tiger
\nGiven to the school in Malang
\nWhich is where Abdullah worked
\nAnd he decided to
\nLook after the little cub
\nAnd clearly he had a view
\nWhich included much compassion
\nHe began to understand
\nHe spent his days with the tiger cub
\nFeeding her by hand<\/p>\n
What he had was patience
\nAnd power of thought and care
\nReally a lot of savvy
\nAnd he did prepare
\nWith perception and clear thinking
\nWith prudence and forethought
\nEnlightened by the little soul
\nAnd together they were caught<\/p>\n
Up in a relationship of each
\nWanting a need
\nLevel headed and grounded
\nBoth wanting to succeed
\nThe tiger she grew larger
\nShe was immensely strong
\nAnd so began a friendship
\nThat may have just felt wrong<\/p>\n
To others, but to these two
\nTheir friendship did belong
\nIn each other\u2019s expectation
\nOf course it all felt wrong
\nTo some to those unfeeling
\nTheir resourcefulness was there
\nA habitual kind of being
\nTogether and to share<\/p>\n
The whimsical the preposterous
\nThe significance of it all
\nCould it be escapism
\nAnd perhaps fantastical
\nSo much substance to this liason
\nA tigress and a man
\nEach with a conviction
\nThat appears a solid plan<\/p>\n
Ofcourse it is a challenge
\nBut it seems to be
\nWorking with the whole truth
\nThe complete veracity
\nIt\u2019s spontaneous and unprompted
\nIt\u2019s become normality
\nAlmost predetermined
\nAnd working resolutely<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
