TIGER TIGER


from the ABC set JUST FOR LAUGHS

In their gentlemen's club, two old soldiers
Are reliving past exploits over whisky sodas
"It was in northern India back in thirty-two
We were hunting up country to bag a few
We came to a clearing and to my surprise
I saw this huge Tiger right before my eyes
I stood there transfixed by the Tiger's stare
So calmly I brought my rifle round to bear
And as my finger slowly squeezed the trigger
The tiger charged letting out a mighty AHHHH!!
"What happened next? Asked his old comrade
"Well I have to say I shit myself I'm afraid
"No shame in that when charged by a Tiger
"No, no I mean just then when I went AHHHH!!
