You are young
Full of hope, and full of confidence
Bad cannot possibly happen to you
You have everything under control.
You begin to "Ride the Tiger"
It is wonderful.
Also, it is short-lived
The Tiger will spring.
You have lost control of the Tiger
It happens to all of us, even the best of us.
You must hold on
Using all of your strength and intelligence
To the Tiger's Tail.
This is called
LIFE.
