Pastel paper moon
Paper tiger and paper spoons
Paper plates this afternoon...

Paper tiger,
Good afternoon
Staring at
The paper moon
Lurking at
The water’s edge,
Capturing the
Beautiful origami bird...

 The tiger growled, puffing its chest
 Yet the donkey didn't seem stressed
 Tiger said, " your bones I'll chew
 and make a meal out of you
 But the donkey was unimpressed...

~fists of his always clenched so tight,
                       .                      yet nowhere ready to throw a punch. ~

Life is a paper tiger
We should forge ahead
When we have difficulties
If there are difficulties
We should create some
Difficulties and forge ahead
You are in the weak side
When life is in the strong side
Vice versa, we can't be terrified
By the paper tiger....

Both black and white
Kittens wearing pink
Mittens, sit playfully,
While facing the
Enchanted mirror
To their great surprise,
Those lovely kitten eyes
Witness a paper tiger
Appearing in the mirror
With a great big 
Cheshire cat smile
Then, asking, who
Are you...

Take shelter this might be a big one
Paper walls won't hold it back
I don't think this will be it
But 'aint too sure about that

Been thinkin' about President Lincoln
Nowadays he seems Heaven-sent 
Wasn't always like that
He mostly made it up as he went

There sure 'aint no Abe Lincoln
Or even FDR near about
Just a paper tiger
With a Twitter account 

We can be bystanders
As the darkness falls 
And keep our distance 
Behind paper walls
