Wendy Rycroft Poet Rhyme

Walking My Tiger Home

I’m walking my tiger home! 
So what!
Wow! 
That’s the strangest thing,
I’ve ever heard!
You just might say!
Well! Mary had a little lamb,	
And you had no problem with that!
She even took it to school one day,
That made the children laugh and play,
History! Made that nursery rhyme, 
I could do that!
I’ve got a big cat!
Mary had a harmless lamb,
Mines a stripy tiger,
Hers was cute and white as snow,
Mine is hungry! And I’ve far to go,
Mary’s story was very real,
Mine is just a tiger’s tail,
So off we go upon our way,
That is why!
I’m walking my tiger home today.
