TIGER TIGER

 In their gentlemen’s club, two old soldiers

Are reliving past exploits over whisky sodas

“It was in northern India back in thirty-two

We were hunting up country to bag a few

We came to a clearing and to my surprise

I saw this huge Tiger right before my eyes

I stood there transfixed by the Tiger’s stare

So calmly I brought my rifle round to bear

And as my finger slowly squeezed the trigger

The tiger charged letting out a mighty AHHHH!!”

“What happened next?” Asked his old comrade

“Well, I have to say I shit myself I’m afraid”

“No shame in that when charged by a Tiger”

“No, no I mean just then when I went AHHHH!!”
