Lennie the Lion

This princely lion called Lennie
In the zoo pub he had one too many
He awoke to exposure
Being in the wrong enclosure
Cuddling a princess lioness called Jennie

James, I liked thgis one, tgoo! It was immediately funny and what's more- I could see this as a visual of a blackout skit in the great old cartoons of yesteryear. It is that funny! I liked it! Regards, Gerard

Witty poem, James. I hope Jennie wasn't guarding some cubs or Lennie could be in for a licking. Best, CD
