Myrna and the Lion

Myrna had been hiding for years But finally he'd sniffed her out, So she turned to face her predator But his roar made her fast turn about, And instantly she began running Though the lion was close on her tail, Such screams for help were never heard As she stumbled and let out a wail, For the lion at last had caught her And she looked up in horror and fright, It seemed all was lost for Myrna As the lion went to take a bite, But a trap was prepared for the lion! And his jaw snapped shut in shock As he found himself bound and imprisoned And unable to open the lock, Myrna saw the trap and sighed As she needed no more fear the beast, But her welcome relief was short-lived; She found the cage did not help in the least, So nobody knew why she worried; They considered the beast as long gone, But though Myrna saw the lion ensnared She heard his roar go on and on.
