I'M Lion If I Say I'M Pleased To Be Here-Full Stop-

Veronica and I, share the same brave dream
With Veronica snared, we made a great team
Xylophone extraordinaires, the world had never seen
Yikes folks, I ate swords or flares that burnt and bent my teeth
Zoo turned me into a circus freak, I long for the long grass of home.

I was delighted to see your work in my winners’ list..I enjoyed reading the work of an outstanding poet..Your participation was much appreciated..I hope that this was written in jest and not a true happening..The circus has had many interesting side shows and other entertaining acts in the past that seem impossible though..Sara
