Tiger got to hunt,
bird got to fly;
Man got to sit and wonder, 'Why, why, why?'
Tiger got to sleep,
bird got to land;
Man got to tell himself he understand.
"Cat's Cradle", Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (November 11, 1922 - April 11, 2007), American novelist

Say! I think I got those!
Thanks, guys.
When you get 'round to it (if you get the chance), can we see it in your native conscript (if you have one)?
