My Tiger

Walking  my Tiger  home  is  not  easy  


As  he bears not,  on  the  road  ,  those   sleazy  .


A  story   funny   to  you,  it  may   sound  ,


Weird   way   to  my  destiny  I am  bound  .


Dilemma  it is  for  me,  every   day  ;


From  my tiger,  keeping  others  at   bay  .


Not  for  his instincts carnal,  do  I  mean  


But   for  his prized beloved   that  I've been.


A  tooth   for  a  tooth  ; an  eye   for  an  eye  ,


He  will   spare  not  even  the  harmless   fly  


One   eye   on  me,  ready  he is  to   fight  


Soothing  him,  way   back  , is  almost  a  rite  .


The  village   powerful  tiger  fighter  


Misfortune, my lover is crowned, Tiger!
