Eye Of The Tiger

 
 
I’m a striped orange cat, a sexy tigress,  
Out for my nightly walk on the prowl.  
Inhaling smells, I wear a blue Iris  
(Behind an ear) I got from an owl.  
 
The news spreads like wildfire when I hunt,  
Thrill seekers head uptown just to watch.  
But I don’t allow them to come and punt,  
I make a kill and snack on a crotch.  
 
This Tiger’s got an eye on you, Sweetie,  
As I preen the blood from off my nose.  
You got naughty bits that are sweet meaty,  
My chef can make a sauce just for those.  
 
So as my puss’ drips, I’ve eaten my fill,  
And slink back to the jungle projects.  
The humans in awe are watching me still,  
Tomorrow, you’ll be my dinner ‘guest’.
