She is skittish.<\/p>\n
Frightened in the car, in her cage.<\/p>\n
In her language, she cries out:<\/p>\n
“Why are you torturing me?<\/p>\n
What have I done to deserve this?<\/p>\n
I give you only love, and what do I get in return?<\/p>\n
An endless drive to see the witch doctor<\/p>\n
who will probe my orifices with sharp weapons.”<\/p>\n
And as I feel her terror, I call to her,<\/p>\n
“Fear not, it will soon be over and you will be<\/p>\n
safe and healthy again, my love!”<\/p>\n
