Tiger

His stripes are very faded,
His Fur’s like orange clay.
His whiskers tangled like a knot,
His beard is long and grey.
He’s as cute as a bunny,
And as sneaky as a fox.
His small paws are quite pretty,
And so are his brown eyes.
His short soft fur is cuddly,
His white black ears are nice.
He’s fluffy like a puppy,
And about as scary as a duck.
My mum got him when I was three.
I was running down a hill,
We were going to the giraffes.
I got him at the zoo.

He’s wild and he’s scary,
He prowls and stalks his prey.
He creeps up on my teddies,
And gets them every day.
