Walking My Tiger Home

Walking my tiger home, I slipped and fell on a gnome. He ran away like a deranged cat, I hurt all over, but I had to find him Stat. Where in the world would he go? Maybe he would find the circus show. I'm sort of nervous, it's his fist time out, I usually stay home due to my gout. Doc said walking is good for my bones, As I ponder my next move, I hear a tired moan. Well what do you know, my wayward pet has returned, I'm still on the darn ground, and I hit my dome, I finally got up now I must walk my tiger home. Alexis Y. Inspired by the "While Walking My Tiger Home " contest.
