Through childrens eyes [TW]

Once there was a tiger, a tiny little tiger, playing with her tiger toys, but her nurse maid made her so afraid she didn't dare make a noise.

What happened to that tiger, that tiny little tiger, who never learned to roar? Now she's a mat, stretched out flat, on somebody's bedroom floor.

What we're saying is hey Jimmy, Joe, John, Jim and Jack, even little tigers lose their nack, when someone whose twice their size can't see the world through childrens eyes.

Once there was a beagle, a happy little beagle, folowing his tail around, but his father said go straight to bed and make any sound.

What happened to that beagle, that happy little beagle, who never learned to guard? One day some robbers came, and to his shame, he turned tail and ran away.

What we're saying is hey Jimmy, Joe, John, Jim and Jack, even little beagle s lose their nack, when someone whose twice their size can't see the world through childrens eyes.

Once there was a bunny, a fluffy little bunny, through the piny woods they'd roam, but their mother said come back to bed, a bunny belongs at home.

What happened to that bunny, that fluffy little bunny, who never learned to hop? Because they never learned to hop, their hanging in a butcher shop.

What we're saying is hey Jimmy, Joe, John, Jim and Jack, even little tigers lose their nack, when someone whose twice their size can't see the world through childrens eyes.


What we're saying is hey Jimmy, Jack, John, Jim and Joe, when you have your own kids let them grow, because even though you're twice their size you can see the world through childrens eyes.

@Iamspoons Thank you for sharing this! I like how you illustrated it through different animals, and then brought the point back to people. I think that the repeating lines and phrases are good reminders to children and parents about what the ideal relationship might look like.
