Tiger Or Kitten

Tattooed stripes and a bellowed roar,
A lashing tail and hook-like claws,
With rippling muscles and piercing eyes,
Scouting ears and fangs of surprise,
Creeping slowly and hidden well,
Step by step whilst prey dwells,
One pounce with skill,
And there’s the kill,
That’s all it needs,
Now time for a feed.
