Pithlet's Journal

My husband had the day off and we went to the zoo. It was almost empty, it was 70 degrees out and the big cats were really out and active. The two tigers that are normally lazing around in the sun were batting and playing with each other just like overgrown house cats. Then they stopped, head butted each other affectionately and started grooming each other. I just stood and watched for a long time, and got tears in my eyes thinking about what happened to all those tigers in India that were discovered missing, as well as all the other endangered tigers. How can anyone slaughter these beautiful animals? It really took my breath away, and it was awhile before I realized my family had already moved on without me. A zookeeper saw me, and I think he could tell what I was thinking, and we talked for awhile. It's such a shame what is happening to them.

Sigh.

Oh everything comes in its own special size
I guess it can be measured by where you put your eyes
It looks big when you're close
And it looks smaller back a bit
That's about the size of it.

Oh the big becomes the little
When you see it back a bit
The huge becomes the dinky
Which is just the opposite
Of the larger that gets smaller
It never seems to fit
That's about the size of it.

That's about the size
It's where you put your eyes
That's about the size of it.
