There was a man

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.
