Cats of the Circus.

Poem - ATC

Oh cirque du tiger

Sat slumped in your cage

Are you ready to perform

For your master up on stage?

How dear tiger Have you gotten so fat?

When you are a majestic beast of a cat. 

If I were you i'd snap and swing back 

Having a man in a silly hat Order me about like that. 

Or have you given up kitty? 

Getting through life with a yawn?

 Happy to live for tricks

 Happy to be a pawn.

Great poem Tigers should always be free!

I love this poem. A majestic beast, confined to mundane tricks and cages, wondering if he has accepted fate or if he might one day fight back. Brilliant!
