I'm a tiger
Striped with fur
Don't come near
Or I might Grr
Don't come near
Or I might growl
Don't come near
Or I might
BITE!
The lay out of this poem gives it a quick beat, which a child would find exciting and amusing. There is rhyme in the first half which creates a light hearted tone, which fits in well with the purpose of the poem. It flows well, and it is short and easy to read. The writer as purposefully chosen short, snappy words so that it is easy to read and uncomplicated. The word "Grr" is non-lexical onomatopoeia, and this relates to the fact that young children's language isn't fully developed, so made up words such as grr are more relatable for them.
