THE KUDU

A Kudu is a kind of large African antelope.They are often kept as game, and were allowed to roam the grounds of the hotel where I was staying.

The Kudu devoured my jeans,
I have no idea why. Maybe it
Liked them; They had captured its wild eye.

My legs on the wall at the edge of
The balcony, the Kudu attacked
And scared the living crap out of me!

I wasn’t impressed to say the least;
They were my favourite pair of jeans.
I guess the Kudu didn’t know that!

But all was well in the karmic sense -
Later that night, in our fire-lit meal,
I took back power: ate the Kudu.
