“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.
