Poem
The Tiger General Hobbes The Tiger general strode onto the field of battle, Tail flowing eloquently as he walked. And then he turned to his men and began to speak, They fell instantly silent as he talked. The general led his men with a strong presence and iron resolve, They fell into line at a quick command. When they marched he always took the head, And lead his men across the fields of sand. His men followed him with love, respect and admiration. His feats were the stuff that make up great tales. Each fur who followed him took every order to a tee. And when it comes to plans he never fails. The tiger knew this battle was different then the last, He felt the tides turn on the winds of change. He knew that something horrible was about to happen. He didn't know about the scope or range. It was in the thick of the combat that he found it out, and his face changed to one of hidden pain. But he never showed his men a shred of doubt, And each passing feeling he would detain. He started loosing men at an alarming rate, And he drew his blade and rallied the boys. But the enemy had an advantage so large, It made the master steel look like toys. The guns were blaring left and right as the tiger stood his ground, Never surrender he yelled to his men. And nobody saw that he had shed a few tears For brothers he would never see again. The general never backed down and stood his ground, He screamed that he would fight ''til his last breath. And he fought with burning desire and passion, He brought many a Soldier to their death. And when it came time the tiger knew a showdown would occur, As the two leader met amidst the fight. The wolf opposite him unsheathed his own katana, A true battle that would be quite a sight. Each great leader was gifted with amazing skill, They fought each other with tremendous guile. And the further they got the more the tiger thought, Soon enough the wolf will show his true style. The battle went back and forth in a clash of sparks, And then the wolf took out the tigers feet. The cheater finally showed his true stripes and colours, And brought the tiger general to defeat. The tiger general's men rallied on to win the battle, And even through death he drove them forward. His men will always remember him as a friend and a brother, And a man who truly lived by the sword.
