Tiger Tyger

Numpty moment of the week, on discussing the difference between Samuel Coleridge Taylor and Samuel Taylor Coleridge:

Dad: He wrote 'Khubla Khan'.
Me: Isn't that the one about the tiger?
D: No. It's about Khubla Khan.
M: Wasn't he a tiger?
D: No.
M: Then which is the one about the tiger?
D: 'The Tiger'.
M: Then what am I thinking of?
Mum: Shere Khan from ' The Jungle Book'?
Me: ...ah.
