The Panther and the Tiger
I love your dark fur, my beautiful Panther,
in fact, I love everything about you:
how you move, how you purr, the way
you stalk your prey...
Thank you, dear Tiger.
Although we are so different, in many ways
we are so much the same. I love your stripes,
how you stealthily creep through the jungle,
your sharp and beautiful mind...
You are too kind, my Panther, I look forward
to hunting with you, to roam the jungles
at your side, to feel the thrill of the hunt,
to share a wild boar that we brought down
together...
I want that too, my Tiger.
After feasting, let us curl up together
and sleep, the rest of the jungle be damned.

in each, they see so much of themselves. they are exactly what nature intended them to be, & they take pride in that...
JohnFeddeler: You got it exactly. Also, though both are different in some ways, there are enough commonalities, even if the rest don't "approve" of the match.
