When I was walking my tiger home
I wondered why I was all alone
How all the neighbours did stare
At us out in the fresh air
But I couldn’t leave tiger to roam
Tiger’s quite a large ‘pussy cat’
With black stripes that make him look fat
He attracts quite a crowd
With his roar being loud
It’s no wonder we get stared at
Tiger recently lived in a zoo
Looking sad in his cage painted blue
I obtained the door key
Tiger now lives with me
He’s great pals with my pet kangaroo
Tiger loves to eat lots of meat
He’ll paw at me with his huge feet
Then he’ll sit next to me
When we watch the TV
We share popcorn as a nice treat
Friends no longer come visit my house
But tiger wouldn’t hurt a small mouse
People always are wary
Of my pet who looks scary
(They are lucky they’ve not met my spouse!)
I’m reading an excellent tiger tome
It advises feeding him honeycomb
He now looks quite divine
You can see his coat shine
When you see me walking my tiger home
