#1 I'd like to think the sculpture pounced on the man.

#2 Tiger tiger, concrete chunk,
From your plinth you fell, kerplunk;
What unlucky rickshaw dude
Who bunked beneath you was so screwed?

In what adman's sparkling peepers
Smoldered doom for sidewalk sleepers?
Who allowed so stout a statue?
Let your base precipitate you?

What municipal inspector
Sipped on nectar? What erector's
Hardened heart knew you could tumble
If your sodden perch should crumble?

Bengal, soggy Bangladesh
Values concrete over flesh:
Bet they'll prop you up again...
Inshallah, taking note of rain.
