Tiger

Tiger with coat of dissimilar stripes,

When he’s angry, tiger swipes,

Tiger cautious, guarding his lair,

Danger lurking, tiger aware.

Tiger hungry so he hunts,

Facing quarry, tiger confronts.

Tiger waiting, being sly,

Undercover, no tiger espy.

Tiger detects, now he purrs,

Hunger pangs, tiger stirs.

Tiger quick, must now surprise,

Here we have one tiger, wise.

Tiger from his throat he roars,

Stretching out those tiger claws.

Tiger moving, stealthy pelt,

Expiration, by tiger dealt.

Tiger now with belly filled,

Anger passed, one tiger stilled.

Tiger sleeping, with the Pride,

Craving gone, tiger satisfied.
