Silent Vigil

White tigers are conspicuous, They stand out from the crowd! So not to be ridiculous, They're silent and not loud... That's why they stare and sit and stare Or lay and stare awhile... So other beasties aren't aware Of such a high profile... White tigers can get bleary-eyed If they lounge there too long And yet take such things in their stride, Although they know it's wrong... To compensate, they walk about, To stretch their legs and such, Then they lie down, with paws stretched out, But then, they don't do much... White tigers have been known to roar, Then watch the others run! White tigers snigger, laugh, guffaw, When things like that are done! Their silent vigils that were here Soon disappear, God knows... It makes their day to instil fear, The naughty so-and-sos!
