My Tiger Has Groove I have a small tiger living in my garage He has heated beds for the winter And store bought cat food sitting on the counter But it is not enough to tame him The other day as I stood in my drive I noticed him crouched slowly stalking All I could see was a tree and some grass But I’m no tiger With quickness I had dreamt of playing pick-up basketball He sprang and galloped in the same motion Then he pounced The bird tried to fly but was snatched, a foot in the air I have accomplished many things in my life Started and grew a successful business Climbed to the top of a cliff in the Sandias without any ropes Ran a couple of marathons But I’m no tiger I was never able to just saunter after a kill Never able to hold my trophy in my mouth Walk silently away like nothing ever happened
