Tiger, Tiger.

Tiger, Tiger,

Awesome, brave,

Shame is Tiger

Could not behave.

 

Tiger, Tiger's

Lustful preying

Head of the field

At wife-betraying.

 

Tiger, Tiger,

Playing around

As a family man

On shaky ground.

 

Who knew that he could so indiscreetly swing

And to "get in the hole!" such novelty bring?

A playful parody that's "ripped from the headlines," Frank. You skillfully infuse Blake's poem of yesteryear with a contemporary edge.

Domestic infidelities? Skip away. Rhythm and Timing is all. Would you not consider Ballroom Dancing ... as a prelude, I'm only suggesting, to Salsa, Cha-Cha, or full-blown Tango?

This is probably a housed tiger, or in our language a paper tiger; we may also nickname him soft ears, but lovely tiger, lovely poem Frank.

Actually, its more the Winnie the Pooh Tigger, since he is found in the woods...

 

Playful, fun and a wonderful way to start the Day Frank! Actually more than clever a genuine PoMo mashup!

 

Thanks Frank!
