Bush Cat Killers

BUSH CAT KILLERS Lions hunt anything, They hunt all the while, They approach their prey, With incredible guile. Their plan is strategy, When they attack, And like a squadron of Soldiers surround their Prey in a pack. Lions have a reliable nose, And with their sharp hearing, This leads to a kill, And the whole pride Will enjoy their fill. Their young are taught to stalk With co-ordinated precision, And together one day, Will form a formidable coalition. Their stealth and power, Is a fearsome might, They have spotted their, Their kill, And execute at their will, Under the cover of night! Often, opportunity Knocks at their door, As an old exhausted Elephant falls at their feet, On a stony river bank floor, And provides an abundance Of food, attracting drifters, Like a crocodile! Lion and crocodile stick to their Boundaries In an uneasy truce, Until the territorial Hippos appear And come near, And the Lions then run, Churning river sand loose! They leave the elephant carcass In the lost and found, Swiftly running for Higher ground! It’s time for them to not Be a hero, As one hippo bite, Can zip them to zero!
