There's A Lion In My Garden.

There's a lion in my garden I think it's escaped from the zoo.
There's a lion in my garden, Oh my goodness what shall I do?
The lion in my garden is laying under my old oak tree.
As I look out through my window, he yawns then looks 
right back at me.

Help there's a lion in my garden and I've telephoned the police.
Just lock your doors and stay inside, that lion's been released.
The zoo keeper is aware of where his lion rests.
He's on his way to save the day to protect his lion from any pests.

Why that lion in your garden is really soft and tame.
His keeper says he'll come when he calls his lions name.
"SIMBA" shouts the keeper, "COME." 
And Simba stands and goes to his keepers side.
"Iv'e got to take you back my friend you just can't leave your pride."
And as they turn the keeper says, "Madam I beg your pardon.
I'm sorry Simba gave you such a scare when you found him in your
garden."

This is incredible. You have a gift for the simplicity and light of the wild. A childrens illustrated book awaits this.

Thank you Steve for such a lovely compliment. I would love to see my poetry in a book. Not found a publisher yet though, one I can afford. Hug x
