The Foolish Lion Keeps Singing

The python comes with cameras Offers to take photos of lion’s family cabs He admits and congratulates the python Then when he opens his eyes to see things He sees whole family in the python stomach The foolish lion keeps singing The flood comes with canoes Asks to carry lions’ subjects to safe land He welcomes the mercy of the floods Then pocks his ears expecting good news He hears mourning-cry of drowning subjects This foolish lion keeps singing The future comes with biscuits in bags Tells lion to exchange them for idle bushes He hugs the future praising it for its charity Then he waits for future to go, get and go He sees the future overstepping the deal norms But the foolish lion keeps on singing Then death comes dressed in golden linen Invites lion to enroll his family as choir of angels He welcomes holy gestures of smart guest Then he sits waiting for angel-choir to appear A shock! Disarmament, paws, jaws plucked Foolish lion weeps bitterly to the zoo
