Who Can Fault That?

Casual lion lounges in his 70’s jacket It is made of velvet, not velveteen Softer than his mane if you can believe it We wait for his words of wisdom He is the king of beasts and of the forest The waiting goes on for a long time He has relinquished his rights to hyena The animal who thinks everything is funny Who can fault that? Asks the zebra. More evidence that… buffoons and clowns always run for office.
