Analysis of The Tiger Feather at Your Service
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Twas amidst the waistland's edge
The story ended for dear old peg
her feathers lay scattered and still
A tale barren as the ill-snipped quill.
Walking by I shuddered to think
How it all went down
Nothing left but her mink.
I couldn't help but pick her up
Still on her hand a God given cup.
Her fingertips no longer passed down.
That I didn't have to wonder, I knew
With ever last breath she drew.
