The Gay Leopard
I love flowers he told his mama,
Shh! She said, you know the llama!
The llama was the biggest gossip around.
She would soon have this admission all over town.
Leopards are not supposed to like flowers Mama said.
Admitting this might land you upside down on your head.
Worse, it might land you down in a gully, practically dead.
Do not tell anyone your feelings about this, his Mama said.
But mama, it is how I feel, the leopard replied.
How can I hold my feelings all down deep inside?
Just keep this one silent, until you get a bride.
I do not want one of those either, he promptly replied.
