The Night Safari

 
 
 
All through the stillness of the night
The wind howled in the bamboo clump
The bamboo bushes danced in rapture 
In the inky darkness our searchlight beamed
On shadowy forms of  giant-sized bisons
Their luminous eyes stared in unconcern
The creatures of the wild refused to appear
A night safari was just not their idea of fun .
