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.

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.

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
