the baby tiger

she's wearing the pajamas
i got her
for Christmas
adorned with dogs and cats,
birds,
bears and lions.
she's a walking zoo
of animals.
her slippers look like ducks,
and her
hair is held back by a band
covered in images
of kangaroos.
at night when she falls asleep
i listen to her snore,
and imagine that i'm hearing
a baby tiger roar.
