Tiger tiger burning bright
Tiger tiger out of sight
Samber, langur warning calls
through the misty morning squalls
Tiger tiger burning bright
Tiger tiger don't take fright
Crouching, pointing guide says "hush
tiger resting in that bush"
Tiger tiger burning bright
Tiger tiger time is tight
searching, seeking, all eyes peeled
fifth safari needs to yield
Tiger tiger burning bright
Tiger tiger behold your might
Languid, muscled fire and tar
swaggering stripes towards our car!
Tiger tiger burning bright
Tiger tiger awesome sight
Humbled, eyeballed froze in fear
A close encounter, ...hugs, a tear
(...I took this and didn't cut the photo!)
Tiger Tiger Burning Bright,
ReplyDeleteShe tried five times to see the light...
pick out your stripes of black and gold,
and see you stride, free, proud and bold.
Tiger Tiger Burning Bright,
So glad you gave our girl a sight....
of you, majestic, secret feline
stalking fearless in her eyeline.
Thank You Tiger Burning Bright.
By Prowling out into the light....
SNAP!!! she got you.. now you're seen
in all your glory on my screen.
