Leo
Leo, the king of the
lazy
Lie in the sun
basking belly high
If she does not go
out to hunt
You will surely die
Why am I waiting for
dinner
If she does not pull
her finger out
My belly will get
thinner
Then behold, dinner
is served
Leo wants the lions
share, he must be
first
Slap, smash, fly
the cubs at his feet
When the king has
filled his fill
The morsels you may
eat
Now back to twenty
more hours
Of belly basking
under the warm
evening heat
I wonder what the
morrow will bring to
eat
I am Leo, the king
of the plains
I will not tolerate
hunger pains
One day his kingdom
of lazy will over
ride
When a new young
strong buck
Eyes up the
provideress of his
Pride
