Tiger, Tiger
on the prowl
Through the jungle
I hear your growl.
Your eyes shine
dazzling pools of light
Fur, so orange and vibrant
Like fire, burning bright.
Softly, you step
One paw after the other
Tiny, softer paws follow you
Cubs after their mother.
You hunt and kill
So your family you can feed
And through you, your children learn
How best to stalk and lead.
A nice swim, now and then
A cool refresh burst
Out of all the cats to swim
I've known you were a first.
Your stripes as dark as night
Blend you into the shadows
Camouflaged in the murky black,
Creeping along, on the down low.
Tiger, Tiger
Pounce with great ferocity
You should be the king.
You beautiful orange kitty.
