THE LIONS AND THE LAMB
In the middle of the jungle,
there was a funny sight.
A rumble, a tumble,
the lions had a fight!
They had caught a little lamb…
a yummy little lunch;
but could’nt quite agree
On how to share their brunch.
'Now here, I will need a half',
Went the oldest very faint.
'Forget it!' Came a nasty laugh,
'I have the biggest mane.'
Lions busy with their fight,
lamb was dizzy and still.
He then began to slowly grin
and scampered down the hill.
The angry lions looked far and wide.
That cheeky lamb cannot hide!
He fooled us and hurt our pride.
We’ll bring him back, firmly tied!
They finally found him on a hill.
'Stop lamb', they said, 'hold still'.
Lamb was scared but soon enough
he had a plan on playing tough.
'You got me', said lamb, 'Oh Great!
I simply cant escape my fate.
But who will now eat the most?
Who is going to raise a toast?'
'Me of course!' they all glared.
'That’s not true', the lamb declared!
'For only the strongest in this lair,
gets to have the Lion’s share!'
The lions growled
and puffed their mane.
They roared, they howled,
they fought insane!
As the lions kept up their din
the little lamb stood very still.
He then began to slowly grin,
as he scampered down the hill.
