As small as a drop water a Meerkat sits, watching, watching, watching
As brown as a stick laying there waiting, waiting, waiting
Watching the sunny sky burn his small paws
As beautiful as a little puppy barking, barking, barking
A little Meerkat splashing, splashing, splashing
Their small claws as sharp as a nail sckratching, sckratching, sckratching
A little Meerkat mating, mating ,mating
Galores of Meerkat eating gnaws, gnaws, gnaws
A massive tiger glaring at a Meerkat staring, staring, staring
A big orange angry tiger planning, planning, planning
A little Meerkat as scared as anything shivering, shivering, shivering
A little Meerkat hiding from a strong tiger, tiger, tiger
A humungous orange disappointed tiger planning, planning, planning
A little Meerkat as scared by animals fighting
shiv erring, shivering, shivering
A little Meerkat hiding from a tiger, tiger, tiger!
