Tiger Medicine


When you're in the doldrums,
and feeling not like you,
go walking with a tiger,
it's a way to beat the blues.
Cause when you take a tiger walk,
when you are feeling ill,
It cures whatever ails you,
without taking any pills.
The tiger has a special place,
in ancient healing lore,
while some folks like their tigers dead,
when dead, they do not roar,
So I prefer my tigers live,
they get your heartbeat racing,
their roar makes medicine alive,
protects you from defacing.
It scares away what ails you,
and opens up the door,
that lets your spirit ride the breeze,
and gives esprit de corps.
