Don’t come near

I’m a tiger

Striped with fur.

Don’t come near

Or I might Grrr

Don’t come near

Or I might growl.

Or I might

BITE!

          --Mary Ann Hoberman

Orange and black,

Great big cat.

Four big paws,

Long sharp claws.

Through the jungle running,

Do you see her coming?

What a sight!

Will she bite?

The Bengal tiger likes to eat

Enormous quantities of meat.

Now people have been heard to say

That tigers hypnotize their prey.

So please do not take foolish chances

Avoid the Bengal tiger’s glances.

                --Jack Prelutsky

               ZOO DOINGS

Remember, when you starve with the tiger,

The tiger starves less.

Tiger, tiger,                      (hands like claws out)

Orange and black

He’s somewhere about   (look around)

You’d better watch out!

POUNCE

There's a tiger walking through the jungle,

There's a tiger walking all around.

There's a tiger walking through the jungle,

And he makes the scariest sound--Grrr.

          --Mr. Jim
