Tiger Has Had Enough
he chased down his meal and let it go
it looked too rough, it looked too tough
we don’t do things this way, he was told by so-and-so
he did not care, he had had enough
you don’t own me, he told his bossy gal
I think I shall escape. I shall. I shall.
She laughed at his ways, his smile, his wit.
If I left you, you would have a fit.
Why don’t you try it? Confident tiger said.
She ran away, and there was no dread
In a few minutes he let another meal go.
And he never again listened to so-and-so.
