Oh, Long of Tooth, Sir Saber ... fierce or fearsome? Retreating or rejoining? Paper tiger or saber-toothed?
Ancient adage of the Long of Tooth Smilodons:
Sharpen teeth on bait, young cub, and snares will stop your purr,
Endure the fleeting hunger pangs, beware the claws of her
To whom you give your pelt too easily, like razors are her nails --
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Ancient adage of the mythical Amazon Warrior:
Fearsome, oh Long of Tooth, why the hasty recession?
Slashing wounds can be bound by wraps of amorous attention.
Only true sabertooths enjoin, paper tigers secrete, fail.
For the female of the species is more deadly than the male.
