Brian the Veggie Lion

Brian The Veggie Lion The trackers all dressed in their safari suits Trekked over plains in their safari boots In search of an animal that was called Brian A statuesque beast in the shape of a lion Skin prickling chills as they sensed he was near But the park ranger said there was nothing to fear For Brian the lion had delicate guts He's now on a diet of pulses and nuts No need to be scared, no need to be quiet For Brian is now on a strict vegan diet As they too were vegan and never ate meat They made it their mission this lion to greet For many a day they sought this strange lion They knew he was close but they couldn't find Brian At first they were wary that no-one was armed But Brian was vegan, they wouldn't be harmed Suddenly, stood there before them was Brian A truly enormous, formidable lion He padded around them on monstrous paws Saliva was dribbling from slavering jaws Brian then snarled, ‘We get few vegans here, In fact you're the first I've encountered this year’ He grinned as he muttered, ‘I'm so pleased to meet you, It's time for my lunch, I'll just have to eat you.’ The trackers all laughed and said, ‘Go on then, try it, We know all about your strict vegan diet.’ Brian just growled and then got rather vicious And later he slept... Vegans... delicious!
