Cecil

His looks were noted as being exceptional He could pose for a camera like a professional For a lion his life was one of peace and quiet He had everything required including his diet He spent many hours gazing fondly at his sons Who would follow his footsteps to be the royal ones A day arrived when he saw men before him standing They carried something and to him they were signaling Being very curious is the nature of all cats If it's a treat he must find just where it's at What then happened was a most grievous pain For many hours could not move from where he'd lain His death was shameful and should remind one and all A repulsive man wanted this lion's head for his wall
