Synopsis[]

Tigger does not enjoy Piglet’s rhyming poems, so he recites a couple of lines of his own!

Plot[]

We see Piglet ringing Pooh’s doorbell. Piglet comes to Pooh’s house to share his poem. Tigger is there too, but messes it up. So Piglet invites Rabbit and Eeyore and tries to puts lots of things that are featured at a war, and locks himself in a cage, so Tigger can’t do anything to his poem, but Tigger somehow managed to get to Piglet’s roof, and edited Piglet’s poem. So to teach Tigger a lesson, Piglet writes a poem that has to put Tigger at risk in danger.
