ENCHANTED!

The first white tiger ever seen
Was quite a while ago,
Yet, from then on, Mankind was keen
To let the whole world know...
And while its numbers are quite small,
It's famous far and wide,
Its beauty still enchants us all,
For this, the Lord supplied...

To some, the Bengal Tiger's great,
Though it's not black and white,
That first white tiger turned up late,
But, boy, was he a sight!
When decades passed, I saw one, too,
Yet doubted for a while...
But suddenly, it filtered through,
That's when I chose to smile!

But don't think I approached real close,
I kept right where I was,
No point to pat him on the nose,
No need to make him cross...
I took some pictures, left him there,
Praised God, then walked away...
Next year, I saw a Panda Bear,
That really made my day!
