“A man! they’re scarce!” the lady cried;

“I fear the crop has failed!

There is but one in miles, and oh,

I fear that he is wed!”

The Tigress smiled. “I am, you know,

A man eater,” she said.

“You eat them!” cried the maid, then ceased

In horror and amaze,

Then sat her down to show the beast

The error of her ways.
