Bengal Betty

yes

When Betty Bengal tiger prepared a fine feast

She knew her cubs had an intolerance to yeast

It could cause things such as anxiety and depression

Staying away from, was her mate’s wise suggestion

 

Instead they would gnash it down all real raw

Which related to each defenseless creature they saw

Even if was a cute puppy dog or an adorable cat

She and her mate would quickly, take care of that

 

The wee ones were taught to slash and gnash it apart

With healthy competition over a still beating heart

From Daddy and Mommy came a valuable bequeath

Their cute faces contained food processors for teeth

 

When the meal was over and was time to clean up

Their great rough tongues would slup, slup, slup

Then with blood and nasty bits off their mittens

They would all lay back and purr like cute kittens

Nice rhyming, Dave. Did not know yeast would cause anxiety and depression in tigers. How exactly does a tiger commit suicide? Do they leave a note?

[Dave Brown]

It is well known
No tigers can wrote
Therefore no depressed tiger
Could wrote any note
A person with your backgound
Should already knew
That any note writing
They just doesn’t do
Instead they send emails
At least that’s what been reported
But with a drastic decrease now in yeast
All suicide considerations have been aborted
