Jungle Cat
It was a day we won’t forget
When he ran and jumped and leapt
And we were there to witness it
He streaked along that sunny day
With no thought that he should stay
We bid him well as he strayed
A zoo would probably take him in
The way he made us gasp and spin
The big cat area could feature him
He was a predator tried and true
With a taste for birdies blue
It was his weakness we both knew
He sank his teeth deep within
A little toy we had given him
There was no denying our jungle friend
He ran from us lightning fast
And flicked his tail as he passed
He was the tiger we never had
