An Ode to Captain Laramie Lion

Captain Laramie the Lion

Never felt at peace

On the plains of Africa

As much as the seas

The odd one out

He favoured the fish

Over the buffalo

As his favourite dish

His journey began

The day he was caught

By illegal poachers

From Somewhere up north

Locked in a cage

And put upon a ship

Laramie picked the lock

And gave them the slip

He ate every man

Upon that boat

And became the captain

And wore the captain's coat

When he reached a port

He assemble a crew

A motley bunch

Drunk from too much brew

From that day forward

Laramie road the waves with ease

No longer king of the jungle

He was now king of the seas

The End

-See you next time

An Ode to Larry the Lion King

Larry the Lion King

Just likes to say rah

He says it so much 

He sounds like a galah

Down at the shops

And up on the hill

It's over the top

He sounds like a dill

It's rah this 

And rah that

Can I have a burger 

And some rah with that

That's what he says

When he goes to lunch

His friend got so angry

He gave him a punch

The End

See you next time

Magic Lion

Magic Lion

This here lion
Is magic indeed
His roar is special
And he likes to feed

On zebras and beef
And goats and sheep
But the village people
Call him a thief

Whenever he roars
People run away
The roar is magical
That's what the people say

It's said he runs like a leopard
And flies like a bird
Swims like a gator
With colours absurd

He is as strong as a rhino
Has vision like an eagle
As cunning as a fox
And teeth so lethal

Magic Lion rules supreme
King of the jungle
Ruler of the pride
And he likes to rumble

See you next time
