Sense Sonnet - Tickler

A Roar Apart - LP Zoo

I hear her roaring from inside,
Molly, the tigress, taunting me,
"You're just a boy, Pavel," she cried,
"And not enough for this lady."
But this tiger was taught to show
Respect for feline feminine.
I've been here long enough to know
That when I am out, she is in.
So let her do her teasing roar,
Cuz we will not be face to face.
I am here as ambassador
From my kind to the human race.

Teasing aside, I'm here to do
My job at the Lincoln Park Zoo.
