dedicated to my sister from Down Under
Tracey Henderson/Tiger Lilley


Tiger Lilley was my first stuffed animal, a plushie one would say
Of one thing I am certain. She was a present on Christmas Day.
I can't remember if she was for Christmas or my Birthday,
But I was small and she was cute and we  would play and play.
Tiger might have been a little stuffed, but she was also mighty.
You see to sleep with me she always took a little flight every nighty.
We would go to bed at the very same time each night,
But the very next day she would be nowhere in sight.
After a while I grew older and no longer needed Tiger Lilley.
But that darned stuffed animal stayed with me, I know it sounds silly
As i got older I started a to write a magical story,
And there was character Tiger Lilley in all of her glory.
She is alive again and now I will never forget her.
In my imagination she just keeps getting better and better.

Dedicated to :iconpurpleink777: she deserves better
than this poem. Then  again the real Tiger Lilley
deserved a better life as well. I hope she liked
to fly.

I'm a sucker for big cats! Which is why I adore my Aslan (who looks something like the guy in this pic - Big Lion by PurpleInk777)! In addition, my non-Scraps submission, Big Cat Support by PurpleInk777:love:

I'm so glad to have read - also enjoyed - the history of Tiger Lilley! :iconcatdanceplz: Such a lovely history lesson! :happycry: The rhythm is metronome perfect! :icongoodjobsign:
