Lions and Lollipops
The lively lion liked lollipops.
He loved to eat and lick his chops.
But when he looked like eating me,
I ran to climb the tallest tree.
"Leo," I said, "don't climb up here."
He sias,"I can't, dear sir,
I'm filled with fear of high places
I never venture." He smiled
And showed his pearly dentures.
"Come down," he said, " and we'll have a party."
I simple replied,"Don't be upset
If I am tardy and if I remain healthey and hardy."
"I won't be sad, just very hungry." And thus Leo
walked away with lollipops all sticking out
Of hungry chops.
