In The Jungle Fever Once while in Nigeria on a hunting expedition we heard storys of personal items missing from the possessions of men within the heat of the night. They spoke of gun belts, aftershaves and colognes, pictures of sweethearts and letters from home. One leaders son was even missing his gun. Believe me, I possessed no fear, but one night a young jaguar to me alone did appear, whispering the following words into my ear; "Follow me, follow me into the delight of the night." I quietly arose from my jungle bed, determined to do as this young jaguar said, fascinated that a jaguar could speak, and curious to what my journey of the night would reap. As we stole into the jungle, we approached a large banyan tree, and again the jaguar said "Follow me." As he crawled through a hole I entered also, by removing my hat and stooping low. Within was a lovely jungle beauty on display, soaking in a hot tub in a leopard skin lingerie. She spoke softly, to beckon me in, assuring me soothingly that we could be friends. All she desired of me was my crocodile belt, While considering the exchange my muscles she felt. It was in that moument that I awoke, in sweat in my bed, with jungle fever throbing on my head. By impulse I felt for my crocodile belt. Just as I thought, my belt was gone, and in the jungle lands of Nigeria, the jungle fever lives on. JamesLee 23February 2007 |

well, then you never had a mother who would constantly warn, "and I suppose if a jaguar in a Nigerian jungle told you to follow him, you would?" ![]() ![]() |

"Follow me, follow me into the delight of the night." I did, I did, I did ... follow you ... and I am so very glad that I did. BRAVO! This was a delightful read, and I was thoroughly captivated! Do I have to give back the crocodile belt? *wink wink* always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |
