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!

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
