Law of the Jungle

the lion
has his
pride

like a
harem
of sorts

for he
has more
then one

consort
to consider
without any

consideration
on any given
day deciding

which to
mate
with

but as mighty
as he might
try to be

after all
he's a king
but doesn't 

live 
in the
jungle 

seconds
later 
he's

done

When they said Lions were quick, I didn't know this is what they meant. :0)
