JUST THE TWO OF US


The two white tigers looked so cute,
Within their comfort zone,
As if each other stayed astute,
Protective of their own...
Such partnerships, of course, are rare,
White tigers are quite scarce,
No wonder, then, some folks take care,
White tigers have such class...

If conservation saves these, too,
White tigers will be safe,
For now, they're just a precious few,
Though each of these is brave...
It isn't just the fragile lives
That humans must protect,
We hope each tiger still survives,
Not one we dare reject...

While numbers dwindle year-by-year,
Protected species roam,
As long as humans hold them dear,
Preserving every home...
That's why such creatures still exist,
Find some peace now and then,
Yet truly folks who don't persist
Won't see their like again...
