Tiger stripes
----and yellow eyes
To go with all
----the stripes imply
When she met you
----did she realize
What goes on behind
----the yellow eyes
When you wined & dined
----the girl
Did she not know
----of your string of pearls
The string of beads
----Your lifelong affection
Adding innumerable women
----To your strange collection
Who played with YOU
----and played you wrong?
Who took your heart
----and left with its song?
It is not too late
----You ought to know
To change your stripes
---Deal HER the last blow!

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
