Best Tigger Poems
I was lonely living in a cats rescue
then my destined family came along
how wonderful that day when I met you
knowing then to you I wanted to belong,
when I arrived at my future new home
excited, strange smells, now I must explore
an whole house, big garden for me to roam
this couldn't be better, I couldn't ask for more,
by the way they kept my name, it's Tigger
I'm a tabby, got a bit of a cheek
not very big in fact I wish I was bigger
never mind I've got some bedrooms to peek,
now I'm in my new home I will decide
which family member to please, adopt
first find a nice warm place to sleep and hide
cosy cupboard or wardrobe if unlocked,
oh I will make them adore me, I'm cute
will allow them some love and affection
but only if I'm in the mood, I'm no brute
I'm a pussy cat, could say perfection,
now I'm settled in, set the boundary
they know where they stand, they know all my needs
fuss me if I want, then there's no quandary
just take care of me, I eat expensive feeds,
I like to go roaming during night-time hours
they don't know where I am, or where I've been
but they know they’re mine, under my powers
now you know, Tigger is the undisputed QUEEN.

Tigger and Leo
A Tiger and Lion joined forces
To run some Man-eating courses
Tutors Tigger and Leo
Said attack at the Knee-o
Then enjoy whatever the Man Course is
Tigger ceaselessly zooms with zest and zeal
Triggered so well by enthusiasm-wheel
So contagious is his active delight
Moving my child toward functional delight.
Eyoor stays calm and cool in his posture
Bringing serenity in group venture
Allowing grand good balance to prevail
Such is Creator’s plan fears* can’t assail.
*Matthew 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

Taryn and Tigger of Irishville
Lived in fear of a windowsill
The old woman there was old and mean
And of cats she truly was not keen
I wish the faerie of St Pat was near.
She would fix that old dear.
She’d make her kind, and change her up.
She’d put tranquilizers in her cup.
Taryn and Tiger had a good day almost every day until
They found themselves under the old biddie’s window sill.
That old crone would come unglued and throw pots down
Breaking crockery and flowers all over the alley ground.
The faerie of St. Pat must have heard the kitty couple’s plea.
During St. Patrick’s parade, crone left the apartment to her cousin Bea.
Bea loved cats and invited them in for cat nip tea.
It was the beginning of a marvelous relationship, you see.
Eeyore was against the costume party in the first place.
He was always the one who had to wear a silly clown face!
The press on nails irritated his hoofs and were no help at all.
The wet rain made him moan even louder than his usual call.
So when he got caught in the storm drain and could not get out
He was wailing loud and long, and his determination was a pout.
Christopher Robin tried his best to reason with him, being adorable.
Eeyore was inconsolable. His plight was simply deplorable.
Pooh's solution was a red balloon? How incredible was that?
Could it save Eyeore? Piglet came by and gave him a pat.
Tigger was jumping all over the sidewalk, when he looked down.
I can have you out in a second, he said, with a wink, turning around.
Silly Tigger, full of magic said some words only Tiggers refrain.
But suddenly Eyeore was on the sidewalk, out of the horrible drain.
What did you say? Christopher Robin and Pooh both amazed, quickly asked.
"I am not sure, but Eyeore's my friend, so it had to be my task."
They surrounded Eyeore with blankets and gave him love sweet.
Took him back to the woods and fed him a nice dinner of meat.
And now Eyeore and Tigger are fast friends forever,
Besties, maybe, after this crazy endeavor.
