A Tired Tiger

"Rosetta Roan!" I heard my name

Almost a sad, heartbroken moan


I'm here! I saw a young man


He's sick? Can you help him?"

I looked down at the poor pup.


"I'll do what I can?"


"He's been sleepin' a lot

which isn't like him

and he seems to be havin'

trouble breathin'."


"May I?" He handed the pup to me

I gave a full check up to see

What I could see.


"His heart is strong

His pathways clear.

I'm thinking he exhausted

And dehydrated I fear."


"Tiger, Tiger is his name."

I found him alone in the

Desert just wandering.


"I think with a little rest

I'll get some water in him

And he'll be at his best."


He tried to smile but

Seemed just a worn

Worried over Tiger

His look forlorn.


CG then stopped on in

"Raven?"


She looked like a ghost

Appeared before her eyes.

"Tiger? You? Thank God

You're both alive!"


"What happened?"


"I'll tell you CG but I need a drink?"


"Some food first I think.

Come join me for Brunch

I'm to meet with Sheriff

I'm sure he won't mind."


"Thank you, CG."


"Take good care of Tiger for me."

Rosetta smiled. "Raven, you have

My personal guarantee."
