Tiptoeing Tigers

---

Gingerly the tigers
Tiptoed through the rain
Past the zebra riders
Right up to the drain

The gazelles didn't smell them
The giraffes didn't see them
Nothing there could stop them
As they bent to take a drink

Then the tigers started leaping
And the animals went running
And they ran until the sun set
Then they paused to get a drink

As they were calmly lapping
The rain slowed to a stop
Then the sun, it started shining
And the animals looked up

The tigers softly tiptoed
Off into the sun
The animals all sighed
And so the day was done
