The Hyena
Hey step right up,come on down!
Welcome to Africa!
I'm not like other dogs.
Though I am pleased to eat you!
On second thought,for now,I might just go away.
Because if the lions catch you,I won't be welcomed to stay.
The last thing you'll be hearing is my laughter.
Don't get mad if I think you're but a joke.
My smile is your first sight.
Especially late at night.
I rip zebras apart,nothing is nicer.
Yes I'm greedy with food,but I'm no miser.
That is unless you have a mane and roar all day.
Because I'll only share with family anyway.
I have two faces with many traces.
I hunt in the day,you see.
But don't let that deceive you.
Your beliefs will succeed to show you that it's true,I'm a carcass theif!
Looks like Simba won't be eating you tonight!
I think life is a joke,a comedy.
Smiles are my religion!
And I'll make a mockery of you until I'm gone!
I take nothing seriously.
Not like I can anyway so,I just give in to it.
You'll never hear me speak,I've been cursed with never ending laughter!
No one will ever see the true sadness in my tears of joy.
Though if I die,I'll never be defeated!
Because I'll have the last laugh!
