Poem by Hilaire Belloc

The Tiger

The tiger, on the other hand,
Is kittenish and mild,
And makes a pretty playfellow
For any little child.
And mothers of large families
(Who claim to common sense)
Will find a tiger well repays
The trouble and expense.

1. Is there any reward?
2. Our Lord and Our Lady
3. The Pelagian Drinking Song
4. The Rebel
5. Kings live in Palaces, and Pigs in sties
