The Tigers’ Picnic

The paintings and pictures are not original.

Lazing in the wilderness

Were the lolling deer

r lurked behind

The Big cats in the rear;

Waiting for a chance

When they could fiercely prance.

A bagful of oranges with me I had

I thus embarked on an idea, not too bad.

One by one into the tigers’ mouth I shot

Like a ball into the basket caught.

They squelched and munched and savored

Cleverly I maneuvered.

No sooner they went a rolling

Inebriate by the juice so stalling.

The tigers then kept mum

Their bellies looked a bulging drum.

They said they’ll no more eat deer

Wherefore shall I now get oranges, I fear.

Now I must act quick you see,

To let not the tigers picnic me

Ha ha ha,,,, well that sounds like a good idea to keep you off the menu, hopefully you remain a good pitcher with that arm and you aim is on target..

A queer way of turning a tiger into herbivorous;If clicked it is well and good for the hapless deers.A nice imaginative poem.Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant poem – I wouldn’t want to become a Tiger’s lunch either!

nice one – sounds like there’s more than just vitamin c as a health benefit from oranges – no wonder they have those orange stripes!
