The Lion Who Ironed His Tail

By alun | July 2, 2009

Went on to clip his claws
He then employed a vocal coach

And had his teeth filed down
Now lenses show his eyes soft blue
Instead of hunting brown

He wrote a self-help manual

He wept his way round chat shows
But now he’s being sued
By families of each ex-gazelle
That he has ever chewed

No no-one sees him regal
And no-one thinks he’s strong
He hears the jungle sniggering
And wonders what went wrong
