poem.

i'm not one for sitting in a darkened corner and reading poetry but when i found this lovely little book in the isle of wight, i had to buy it - admittedly it was for the cover but the poems in it are actually good. really like this one called 'tiger tiger' by joan o sawyer.

tiger, tiger on the wall
do you hear the jungle's call?
do you dream of stalking rats
and mice and birds and other cats?

will you prowl and chase your prey
or will you stay at home today
and doze upon your sunny wall
and just ignore the jungle's call?
