21. "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
Catch a tiger by the toe.
If he hollers, let him go,
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe."
I imagine that any animal wouldn't react kindly to being caught by the toe, but how exactly is the tiger responding when he 'hollers'?

Answer:
Calling out
The word 'holler' can be used to mean a variety of sounds, but generally means a sudden calling out. In the case of the tiger he is probably howling, but a human holler would sound more like a shout.
'Eeny, meeny, miny, moe' is often used as a way to select an option from a group of choices in a seemingly random way.
