The Witch and the Tiger

The witch and the tiger sat on opposite sides of the moon,
Starring at each other, wondering who would eat whom

The witch was cagey, wily and wicked, 
And she had magic powers, so she was not afraid.

The moon shook the witch off.
She had a broom, which she grabbed at the last minute.

The tiger was fierce and majestic.
He had sun-like yellow eyes, and stripes that moved. 

The moon was going to let the tiger stay,
But something weird happened.

The tiger gave the moon a little bite
Because that is what a tiger does.

So the moon shook the tiger off too
Luckily, the tiger had wings, and flew.

So you never know
How a story will end.
