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."
