Big Cats!!
Whose eyes shine in the night like balls of fire?
Whose paw could break a whole empire?
Whose strength could dam a river in niger?
I say, It is the Indian Tiger.
Who could use its paw to break,
A great stag's skull and overtake,
A antelope running toward the horizon?
I say, it is the African Lion.
Whose voice is a scream instead of a roar?
Who drops down from its tree on a boar?
Whose leap is far and its aim sure?
I say, It is the American Cougar.
Whose speed can fly past the great giraffe?
Who at our run would surely laugh?
Who lives on the dry plains of Africa?
I say, it is the spotted cheetah.
Whose leap is accurate and eyes very keen,
Who like a house cat keeps very clean?
Who eats birds and mice a lot?
I say, it is the sly ocelot!
Who is smaller than the ocelot and faster than a deer?
Whose ears are very keen and it's vision far and clear?
Who reminds me at least of the Egyptian Sphinx?
I say, it is the Canadian Lynx.
Who runs quite fast up trees so high?
Who in races with dogs would only tie?
Who eats other prey but mostly the rat?
I say, it is the little bobcat.
Now who does man consider friend?
Who with mice a hand does lend?
Who plays with paper and this and that?
I say, it is the tiny house cat!
