If I were ever to encounter
a wild animal in the forest,
I think the smart play would be for me
to quickly drop to the ground
& feign death,
and then, after a slight pause,
slowly get up,
in a spooky manner,
and maybe, chatter my teeth
like a cenobite.

Yeh, that’s right, mountain lion,
who is eating who now?

Advantage: nutritious human!
