My Best Friends Lion Den

My Best Friend’s Lion Den As my reclusive friend I know your nature You don’t like anything or anyone or favor To help you with this secluded kind of life That is truly you. No!... It’s not a wife. It’s not a turtle either my fine fellow Though you need to lose your shell and be less shallow When you go to sleep I’ll give my special gift to you Perhaps perceived a bit eclectic, it is true I’ll tie you up in twine and drive you to the zoo Place you in the lion’s den Make sure the critters have not been fed Since you are my bestest of my bestest friends And to that end I’ll make sure you have a tranquilizer gun That way you can have some fun If you die, at least you tried If you live, you will have great memories Don’t worry; you don’t have to thank me But if you do, please give me the gun Remember, I was only having fun Created on 12/24/14 for – “My Wish For You” - Poetry Contest
