Clearing the bar!

Right up to the bar this tiger did go
And started complaining that service was slow.
"I've been wanting a drink for ten minutes or more!"
Then he opened his mouth and give one almighty roar!

The barmaid was pretty but a little bit thick
She glanced at the tiger - then felt a bit sick.
She had this reaction when close to cat hair
She said "If you want me to serve you please sit over there!"

The tiger he nodded, then he cast his eye round -
And wondered should he go take a seat or just sit on the ground.
But the barmaid she sneezed and blew him right out the door
So the tiger complained louder than he had done before!

He approached the poor barmaid and extended his claws -
And the rest of the punters looked on with wide-open jaws!
"I'll ask you once more for just one neat tot of rum"
As across the bar counter his claws he did run!

"We can't serve you tiger - as pets aren't allowed
On premises where there's a large drinking crowd!"
The tiger looked round with a greedy smirk on his face
And in two minutes flat - he had emptied that place!

The barmaid she gasped then poured a neat tot of rum
As the tiger he supped it - out the door she did run!
The message quite simply is renowned near and far -
A tiger with attitude - will soon clear a bar!!
