Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright Yet?

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: April 14, 2013

Has he mastered his mistress urge?…

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
in the forest of the night
swings his rescue club till dawn
while no one's around.

Tiger, Tiger burned with lust
as we watched his game go bust.
But it seems he's changed his ways
and his game is back.

Tiger, Tiger longs for grace.
We can see it on his face
as he greets his faithful fans
willing to forgive.

Tiger, Tiger, soon will find
sweet success best not be blind
to booby traps that trigger acts
that make a winner lose.

Tiger, Tiger, burning bright
as he chases balls of white
will likely see that fame regained
means being on your guard.

Editor's Note: Greg has commented on Tiger Woods' fall from grace and comback in two other articles: "Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright" (2009) amd ."Tiger, Tiger Burning Bright Again" (2018).
