She Dared the Tigers
Daring the tigers to toss her aside
To flay her open, and eat her hide
She sat prissily and primly, happily too.
Planning to take these tigers out of the zoo.
The tigers got wind of it and threw her over the wall.
They liked not having to hunt dinner, tiny rabbits so small.
They were spoiled and happy, their dinner was at five.
She knew better than to crawl back there, lucky to be alive.
