Yorkshire Tiger
Yorkshire Tiger
On the prowl
A jump to hunt
A run on the street
Howling and hissing
At every stray
That you meet
Yorkshire Tiger
Proud and strong
With a hardy stare
Quite vicious and long
Yorkshire Tiger
Adverse
To many of your kind
With that long standing tail
Prominent waggling behind
Yorkshire tiger
Your coat so shiny
It sparkles
In the days blazing heat
Strutting up and down
The filthy street
With eyes
Of golden pearls
With feet sturdy
Silent and discreet
Yorkshire tiger
Ears that twitch and stand
To attention
Your presence
Worthy of a mention
Yorkshire tiger
Purrs and purrs
At home
He is quiet
He no longer
Spits and slurs
Nor hiss's but he will defer
In the company of his queen
When in his vision
You are seen
He changes
He is sweet natured
Not mean tempered
In any given way
For you are his one and only
In the moment of today
Yorkshire Tiger
He grasps you while he may
Softly claws you
In the kindest way
As if to say
Love me
Hold me
Take care of my life
I hold you dear in my heart
If you do the same
I promise we will not
Have any kind of strife
Yorkshire Tiger
Gentle your soul is to mine
I shall sit with you
And I shall dine
I shall play
I shall challenge your character
If you learn and still be true
I'll be that goodness
of sweet nectar to you.
