Tiger Tiger Burning Bright
Tiger Tiger Burning Bright

He signed on as an animal trainer,
and now he’s billed as a tiger tamer;
although he started with the bears and lions,
they were just a beginner’s try-ons,

and though he’s now mere tiger food,
he was great for years and really good.
The reason given by the cat of stripes,
they were only waiting till he was ripe.
