for the chance to steal the kill
as the pride queen eats....

                a hyena lurks...

cried loudly near kraal
saw little hope for a meal

God in cantina
while laughing like hyena
served a subpoena

You have to laugh at this one.

He eats what others leave:

So while he’s watching Lion hunt,
He’s laughing up his sleeve …...

I do not like the Hyena
This animal couldn't look meaner
It looks scary
Ugly and hairy
And dirty, I'd like him cleaner...

If you see a spotted cheetah
don't touch it or you'll get
quite dotted;
if you see a mottled hyena;
don't make it laugh
or you'll get spotted...

There once was an ape named Ollie
Who rode around in a trolley
Three hippos in a bath
They made a hyena laugh
As a duck swam holding a brolly...

A fellow named 
Timothy Terna,
was killed by a 
brutalised hyena.
When went him a 
forest,
to pray at a high 
crest,
for God to send 
down bunch of 
manna....

There once was a girl named Sabrina,
Who wanted to be a ballerina,
But she was a big girl,
Who couldn't even twirl,
And she laughed just like a hyena!

It was such a tiny misdemeanour
In the broom cupboard with the night cleaner
We wouldn't get caught
Or that's what I thought
’till she squealed like a drunken hyena...

Used to writhe on stage like a hyena ~

   She mustn't do what she did ~
Now 'Mommy' performs the Macarena...

Do you recall that ornery rascal
  Who played the role of one 'Eddie Haskell' -- 
    Good morning, Mrs. Cleaver
    And how's my friend, 'the Beaver?' --
  Like a laughing hyena ~ or jackal...

African Lion Safari, a joy to behold
Fenced in wildlife, a vast expanse unfolds
Lions and tigers at play
Hyenas, no favorite I'd say
Perhaps an African Hyena Safari of their own...

My name is Charles Francis Messina 
I can dance - but I'm no - ballerina 
My toes are too small - and I'd tumble and fall 
Then you'd giggle - like a laughing - hyena

Hyena the ringmaster with a hidey hidey ho
We gawkers love the enthusiasm that you always show
Your ways are loud and proud, but in no way overdone.
Proving to us circus folk that ring-mastering can be fun!...

Hyena called hyenas
to teach them humility
but a fight broke out

They shouted and fought
other animals laughed loud
many broke their ribs

The Hare told them
Do not wear oversize cloth
Think before you try...

Rat carrying cheese as holy oil
Lion sitting on a goat as sofa set
Hyena in the pulpit as day’s preacher
Eagle keeping penguins as security
Monkeys playing flutes as jesters
In church stair they do their things
In watchful eyes of heaven and earth...

Ugly butterfly looks at me
Color-crowded, shouting
Body-dirty
Eyes-a collage
Legs-strings
Mouth- vulgar
Ears-waxy
Wings-full of ashes
Abdomen-floozy
Flight-clumsy
Smell-offensive
Laughter- of a hyena
Heart- four pebbles
Everything-ugly, ugly!...

Whatever you admire 
You may desire,hire and acquire 
When your desires are dressed-higher 
They will fly higher  and become a design 
May your designer never be a hyena 
That can't give the shout of hosanna 
And your desires never be blown 
With the air of despair...

Mariah Made into a Messiah


Remember when we called wind Mariah,
Who we made into a mature Messiah;
Had been said,
From Bible read,
And planned on being a paranoid pariah.
(Also he had brother who was a hyena.)

BIG JACK

“Big Jack’s Chevrolet!”
That’s Big Jack talking his cars
He is pathetic!
Jack has a hyena voice
Uses hands to make a point

It’s one of two things –
He’s too tight to pay a pro
(thinks he’s just as good)
Or    he loves to see himself
Big Jack    on TELEVISION!

A hurricane tore North Carolina
After ripping Haiti!
It stalks like a hyena,
Leaving a trail of calamity!

I, The Earth, was turning in my sleep.
Humans live for seventy years.
Some build in areas that are deep
Or somehow interfere with my affairs.

Wild woman can outrun a stallion
Out laugh a hyena
Out drink a camel

Wild woman knows her strength
Her spirit rivals the ocean
Competes with the mountains
Shines through the shadows of the forest

Wild woman cannot be held back
She lives her truth, dazzling the rest of us
We stay out of her way...
