Tantalizing Tigers (Complex Alliterisen)

Fanciful and fearless flexible felines.
Cunning if curious, scandalously scrupulous.
Focused, ferocious, searching and seeking.
Pitiful prey, will not be convincingly caught,
terribly tired by the tigers bold bite.
Teeth tightly clamped and bitterly biting down,
simply smothering, kindly killing game.
