Lunching Lions

Two lions lay down by the dry riverbed It’s been such a long time since either had fed One hungry lion then looked up and said A vulture is circling the sky overhead His friend just rolled over and lay on his back His tongue lolloped out and his body went slack But then with a grin, one eye opened a crack He said I won’t give that old vulture a snack We lions are kings of this African nation So play dead like me and we’ll end our starvation This fight for survival, we’re going to win it That vulture up there will be down in a minute
