Nothing Scares a Tiger Like a Tiger

Join me in writing one thousand poems about tigers.  Work backwards or forwards from my last lines or titles, or make your own.
 
All will be posted here.
 
Titles:
 
A Burn, A Tiger, But Not So Bright
 
A Tiger Is Still A Tiger
 
I Out-Tigered Myself
 
Last Lines:
 
a cough (I cheated) and out-tigered the tiger.
 
tigers lust too.
 
I thought he was sharp, and then I realized he was not a he, but a tiger.
 
that tiger somehow seemed to know how to think like a tiger.
