Alexis Y. Poet Light Verse

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.

Demetrios Trifiatis July 24, 2016 at 7:59 AM Haha! Alexis, once when in Montreal, as a was walking down the street one evening I saw a tiger loose before me, her owner behind was smiling , I did not! Well written my friend! Alexis Y. July 24, 2016 at 8:04 AM Hi Demetrios, I'm sure you wasn't laughing. This is pure fiction, I would probably faint if I saw one in real life:-) Alexis
