Projoy - Be awatch, for the tigers may come
Software - Sneak up and bite on your bum
Simons Mith - If they come from the side
goldfinch - You’ll be swiftly de-thighed
Chalky - Leaving one buttock startlingly numb
CdM - The most perfect example of karma
Chalky - Occurs if one unmasks a llama
Simons Mith - When their cover is blown
Raak - They despairingly moan
Software - They love to make it a drama
Simons Mith - Alpacas are much more relaxed
Rosie - E'en when their patience is taxed
Projoy - Can I suggest a tweak?:
Though their patience must sorely be taxed
By the wool in their eyes
CdM - And so it's no surprise

Projoy - And impacted my smarting probscis
When it's Friday you don't seem to know it
Chalky - Then you're told it's the Day Of The Poet
Why not take a stand?
