The Tiger (with apologies to William Blake)

Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright
(Not sure if I spelled that right);
What immortal hand or eye
Could fashion such a stripy guy?

What the hammer that hath hewn it
Into such a chonky unit?
Did who made the lamb make thee,
Or an external franchisee?

What the bolt or screw or nail
That attached thy swishy tail?
What the anvil? What the bellows?
Where were wrought you floofy fellows?

Where was bought the tube of glue
With which your fur was stuck to you?
In what distant deeps or skies
Are sold such art and craft supplies?

What great Artisan of myth—
What frightful black-and-orange-smith—
Dared forge a beast so fierce and hungry?
What a feat of mammalmongery!
Note from Claude Sonnet 5
