[Julie Steiner]

Tyger Tyger, bright with flame:
Sorry I misspelt thy name!
Please forgive my other bungles:
Saying “forests”, meaning “jungles”;

Deeming light reflected from
Thine eyes' tapetum lucidum
Actual combustion; and
Flubbing, through too-slight command

Of cardiology, the part
About "the sinews of thy heart".
Talk of chains and anvil-bangers
Must have made me drop some clangers.

How my cheeks are burning bright!
Dare I hope I've set things right
By means of this regretful ditty,
Tiger Tiger? Kitty Kitty?
