Tiger
A tiger
is like a
butterfly,
thought
the
tiger,
here today,
gone tomorrow
He is like a
bird - a hawk,
forever
vigilant
He is even
a little
like an
elephant,
Ponderous
& basically
gentle
Not too
gentle,
said a
younger
tiger
I only meant it
as a metaphor,
said the old one,
A tiger is like
a number of
things
