Tiger

Son One was detailed to strip his bed this morning as it's wash day. I just went up to change it, and his favourite cuddly was looking all forlorn in the middle of the bed. Both he and The Husband have a serious Milligan habit, and this jumped to mind:

Tiger, tiger, in the night
How can you see without a light?
To separate your foes from friendes
Are you wearing contact lenses?
Remember, tho', he's from the jungle -
He once ate my Aunt and Ungle
Eating people isn't nice:
Wouldn't you rather curry and rice?
So in your suit of striped pyjamas
Promise you will never harm us.
If you say you don't give a hoot, you
See, someone will have to shoot you.
