Hungry Tiger
Hungry Tiger
The tiger leaps like a mad gymnast
Onto a perch to spy prey
But only the elephant grass meets his eye
Like a sorrowful army
Headed back to the home front
Stradivarius of the feline family,
He salutes the grassy soldiers
With an upturned tongue
Until the windblown wave
Of weary warriors
Offers no sustenance
To the hungry carnivore
Who sulks into salivation
The tiger leaps like a mad gymnast
Onto a perch to spy prey
But only the elephant grass meets his eye
Like a sorrowful army
Headed back to the home front
Stradivarius of the feline family,
He salutes the grassy soldiers
With an upturned tongue
Until the windblown wave
Of weary warriors
Offers no sustenance
To the hungry carnivore
Who sulks into salivation
