I once met a man,
he was flamboyance defined.
He had a tiger in his heart
and the jungle on his mind.
With quick word and wit
he'd have you laughing when he pleased.
Yet at his growling roar
men would go shaking at the knees.
Bubbling and yet deep
like the forest stream that flows.
Few people shine in this world,
and he was one of those.
This man, he is no more
and we'll all miss him so.
O Tiger-man, another one
like you, we'll never know.
