There was
A loud growl
And I being
Alone
Took fright
Glancing
About me
I found
A place
Secure
And there
I hid!
I stopped
My loud
Breathing
For fear
It would
Reveal
Me...
As I held
My breath
The growl
Came again
From
Right beside
Me
I'd say.
By now
It was
Dark out
And the
Streetlight
Played
Tricks
With my
Eyesight!
I sweated
And shivered
At the same time
I didn't
Want to
Be prey
To the growling
One.
I prayed
In the dark...
As I
Another growl
Heard...
I realized I
Was
Starving...
Then it dawned
On my
Silly head
The growling
Was
Coming from
Mt empty
Tummy!
For where
In the world
Would a
Tiger be
Doing in
A city?
