PRIDE OF INDIA

Hello, white tiger, long and sleek,
Enrobed in black and white,
Quite dignified and magnifique,
A truly wondrous sight...
With blue eyes twinkling in the sun,
Mischievious, no doubt,
Yet, oh, white tiger, stay the one
Who daily roams about...

Hello, white tiger, strong and brave,
Enchanting great and small,
Quite nonchalant when you behave,
A credit to us all...
This moment, you stay calm, serene,
No grimaced growls to share,
Yet, oh, white tiger, why be mean?
You look so debonair...

Hello, white tiger, on the move,
Enhancing every spot,
With nothing left you need to prove
Because of all you've got...
Discovered only recently,
You're like a newborn star!
Yes, oh, white tiger, you're to me
The pride of India!
