Yorkshire Tiger

Yorkshire Tiger On the prowl A jump to hunt A run on the street Howling and hissing At every stray That you meet Yorkshire Tiger Proud and strong With a hardy stare Quite vicious and long Yorkshire Tiger Adverse To many of your kind With that long standing tail Prominent waggling behind Yorkshire tiger Your coat so shiny It sparkles In the days blazing heat Strutting up and down The filthy street With eyes Of golden pearls With feet sturdy Silent and discreet Yorkshire tiger Ears that twitch and stand To attention Your presence Worthy of a mention Yorkshire tiger Purrs and purrs At home He is quiet He no longer Spits and slurs Nor hiss's but he will defer In the company of his queen When in his vision You are seen He changes He is sweet natured Not mean tempered In any given way For you are his one and only In the moment of today Yorkshire Tiger He grasps you while he may Softly claws you In the kindest way As if to say Love me Hold me Take care of my life I hold you dear in my heart If you do the same I promise we will not Have any kind of strife Yorkshire Tiger Gentle your soul is to mine I shall sit with you And I shall dine I shall play I shall challenge your character If you learn and still be true I'll be that goodness of sweet nectar to you.
