Once Bitten Twice Shy!

There once was a lion so dread His trainer must keep him well fed For if this bad lion Got hungry for Brian Old Brian might just end up dead! Ole Leo the lion acclaimed Like to play the “I’m so sweet” game Slow Brian was lulled And his arm it was culled Now, the zoo’s out a lion it seems!

Hi Deb,I saw your comment on Sheila's poem. As I mentioned on one of your earlier blogs, Dane Ann's book and mine are not on publishamerica.net. They are on publishamerica.COM. There is no publishamerica.net. Thanks for helping promote our books. Love, Carolyn

Nice play on words in your title Debbie. Did you mean "there" in the first line? What is the comment on a blog about, that you mention in your comment on my poem? Agape, Moses
