Lion Hat Leigh

An Ode to Lion Hat Leigh

Lion hat Leigh lives high in a tree

His Beard turned green, a sight to be seen

Because of his hat he's chief of the tribe

He's also very muscly, of this is do not lie

His hat was once a lion of the mountain kind

The taste of human flesh, it really did not mind

One night this lion it did pounce on Leigh

As he lay in his sleep he got bit on the knee

Then Leigh arose and battled this lion

Gave it a head butt and then it lay dying

He picked it up and put it on his head

Then lay back down to sleep in his bed

The end

See you next time
