It's a Serengeti Kind of Thing

The lion gently lies down upon the grass With great caution he surveys the vast plains ahead of him What will he have for his noonday snack? What will he have for breakfast tomorrow too? He spots a hyena and a resting zebra He contemplates the two choices… "tsk…tsk…tsk…eenie, meanie, miney, moe!" "Which one should I choose?" The zebra looks so inviting with his contrasting colors The hyena looks drab and boring but has a lighter flavor Licking his chops he slowly gets up to pounce his noonday treat The lion marches off into the Serengeti plains He abandons his two choices for lunch and decides to go fishing instead "Everything has a new perspective immediately after I go swimming" Boy, this lion sure knows how to clear a pond Hippos jump up from their muddy happiness And make way for the edge of the plain Even the crocodiles clear a path for the King of the Jungle There he goes again exuding all his strength! The lion finishes his afternoon swim and goes back to his sovereign spot There he reminisces and begins pondering again "Hmmm, what shall I have to eat? " It’s a Serengeti kind of thing! He is the King of the Jungle after all! Written by Gwendolen Rix 11-16-14
