Random Poem:

The Old Tiger
unknown

A raunchy old tiger laid in his lair
 1
Dreaming and drooling over a tigress fair.
 2
 
 
Her yellow eyes searching, a flash in the night
 3
Seeking her prey, so swift to take flight.
 4
 
 
Her sleek haunches rippling in her tense crouch,
 5
Her white fangs gleaming from her hungry mouth.
 6
 
 
Her lovely lips curled in a vicious snarl,
 7
Her pointy ears alert for unseen peril.
 8
 
 
The sly, creeping style of her nightly stalk,
 9
And sensual sashay of her killer walk.
 10
 
 
Her sinuous tail twitching left and then right
 11
As she fed in epicurean delight.
 12
 
 
The old cat purred and rolled onto his back,
 13
Smitten by the vision in orange and black.
 14
 
 
She was his dream, savagely sweet feline,
 15
On whose striped back he longed to recline.
 16
 
 
And so to woo her and her love recruit
 17
He bought her a box of Jujy Fruit...
