Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 No Preying Allowed

As a tiger I do hear well,

And I have heard the humans say

That in the wild where tigers dwell

We are best built to capture prey.

Our senses are quite acute.

Leapers, runners and swimmers, we

Most often get prey in pursuit.

And all those stripes on us do be

Great camouflage so prey see us

In a way that does hypnotize

Prey for some time which is a plus

For a tiger pounce in surprise.

So I wonder, since that is true,

Why am I stuck here in this zoo!
