Catnip

There was a lion tamer named Roner
Who acted at times with dishonor.
He abused a lion one night
Which led to a horrible sight.
Hundreds saw Roner become a goner.

Thank you, Deb, for your kind and gracious comment. Yes, I think Roner DID have it coming. Anyone who abuses animals is not my kind of person. * * * I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day, whether or not you're a mom.

G'day Paul... lions do have a tendency to take advantage of a fool. And there are plenty of witnesses - thanks Paul - Lindsay

Thank you, Lindsay (creator of masterful story-poems). Ever hear the expression, as an example, "She got the lion's share of the estate"? I think Roner got the lion's share of stupidity.
