The Tiger Butterfly's Dilemma

"The Tiger Butterfly's Dilemma"


                                        I have a burning 
                                               question
                                            for I've been 
                                                uniquely 
                                                named!

                                             One name 
                                              I have is
                                             completely 
                                                  free!
                                              The other 
                                                name's 
                                             sometimes 
                                                tamed!

                                            So here's my 
                                         burning question-
                                                  See.... 
                                                 I'm a 
                                           Tiger Butterfly!

                                            But I'm a bit 
                                              confused 
                                                 as to
                                                 really 
                                            "Who Am I?"

                                                 Am I 
                                                a Tiger 
                                                  in a 
                                              Butterfly's 
                                               disguise?

                                                 Or.... 
                                                  am I 
                                              a Butterfly
                                                  who 
                                                dreams 
                                                  with 
                                            Tiger's eyes?
