Oh the pitiful thing about tiggers
Is tiggers are unwanted things
Their tops are strung up from crossbeams
Their bottoms just dangle from strings
They’re dirty, hurty, dead by thirty
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
But the most pitiful thing about tiggers is
He’s not the only one
Indeed, there are plenty more sorry-looking, homeless and abused soft toys out there, as our increasingly tedious series attests. London can be a cruel, hard city, where the naive animals of the Hundred Acre Wood have little chance of survival. This image of a lynched Tigger, hanging from the rafters of platform 15/16 at Clapham Junction, comes from reader Dave Arquati. May the orange-one’s bouncy soul finally rest in peace.
