Plight

On a hot summer day, there was once a lion and a boar;

Who met at a spring to drink before they hit the floor.

Yet the lion and the boar, each wanted to drink first;

come what fate might instore.

So they clashed with one another;

each of them a great fighter.

After quarreling for an hour, the two decided to rest;

Before they got rid of the other pest.

But as fate would instore;

A few vultures lay in wait for them to end the lore.

When the two saw the vultures;

They regret their actions.

They said to each other "Instead of fighting to satiate the vultures, let us end this senseless war and drink with a friendly roar."

This is where the wisdom of old comes into play;

'Why must a wise man;

enter into a fray;

that lead to regret on that day."
