tiger in my closet
a tiger crept into my closet today
it happened at three pm. while I was away
she was silent but hungry, wanting some meat
messed up my closet, put two shoes on her feet
I woke up at a quarter past two
saw her stealing my tennis shoes blue
shut my eyes tight and pretended to sleep
did not make a sound, not even a peep
heard the creak of my refrigerator door
heard a neighbor scream and a loud roar
quickly ran down to lock my front door
this pesky neighbor shall bother me no more
