Tiger, Tiger in the stripes

Listening to Calvin’s gripes

Standing there all in the buff

Full of meat and fuzzy stuff

Can you see him? Is he there,

Standing close to Susie’s chair?

Has he found a big nosed dog

With whom to swim the subconscious bog?

Tiger, tiger in the stripes

Listening to Calvin’s gripes

Holding back all of his sobs

As we say goodbye to Hobbes.
