Sadie my Siberian Tiger

Sadie, my Siberian tiger outgrew her cage
seven hundred pounds, she is big for her age
we let her have the guest bedroom in the back
she spends her days playing with an old train track

How long is she staying? My husband dares to ask.
I peeked In and saw her don her favorite sleep mask
Since she is illegal, we better keep her for life
in order to reduce my jail sentence and a lot of strife.

I have a friend where I grew up who had at the time a Lion, black panther, lynx and a Siberian tiger who all lived in unique housing that he had built on his property. They were fantastic animals. The lynx has been in Mercury Car commercials, The black panther was in commercials at this particular moment I can't recall it. The Siberian tiger was the mascot of the local high school who was at every game. The school paid him to take care of it. He was amazing with them.
