The Tygger
[I wrote this a couple of years ago, after sitting through The Tigger Movie with my kids. I reprint it here in part because I've been revisiting Disney on this very blog over the last few weeks.]
Tigger Tigger burning bright
In the forests of the night,
The hands of what immortal things
Dare frame thy toppy bottom of springs?
In what distant disney skies
Peels the orange of thine eyes?
Made from what striped things are ye?
Is your wonder A.D.D.?
When the stars sat down to sing
Of Toy Story, Lion King:
Was Tigger Movie such a one?
Did they who made Frozen make thee bouncy trouncy flouncy pouncy fun-fun-fun-fun-fun?
