Catch a Tiger
Catch a Tiger
By: J.L.
(Dedicated to Hosni)
Catch a Tiger by the toe
and he can be your best friend, not a foe.
I can tell you that I did that last year
and spoke to this strong tiger with no fear.
Thank you for being so true
and sorry for not trusting you
when you were telling me flaws
since I was becoming a monster with claws.
You are one of a kind
and glad you left cockiness behind
because you are just as sweet as your girl
and you better go to the doc before you hurl.
You better know that I am always here
and I have learned to stop the tear
because you taught me right from wrong
to grow up to be princess panda strong.
Your friendship is priceless
as you always prevent mess
and stay shrewd and cool
instead of being a fool.
