when King Lion met Jack Kangaroo.

An amazingly ugly gnu,
Once stopped on the plains for a poo,
A lion went past
And was almost aghast
So he ran off whilst yelling "Ker....phew"!

Hotter Than Heck
Written in the late 1970's
Updated on June 12, 2012
In the summer, a zebra exclaimed,
"That sweaty lion can keep his mane!
It's a pain 'round his neck
When he's hotter than heck.
My white stripes will reflect the sun's rays!"

I Took my son on a trip to the zoo
There was so much for us to see and do
One roar from the lion
My son started crying
The trip was over I was scared to

There was a lion tamer named Roner
Who acted at times with dishonor.
He abused a lion one night
Which led to a horrible sight.
Hundreds saw Roner become a goner.

Couldn'T Help Smirkin'
Found a new restaurant called The Lion and Firkin
Was quite impressed, when finished I was smirkin'
The girlies were clad
In short skirts of green plaid
Delightful as a shamrock, their bottoms were flirtin'

David and Goliath
Goliath, a boastful huge giant,
And David, a shepherd and pliant,
So he took a stone,
And crushed his head bone,
Then Israel roared like a lion.

Limerick : Once a Lion of a Man in ruin
Once a Lion of a Man in ruin
Tried to salvage his pawns and queer Queen
Far too late t’was end-game
Even his Knight was lame
So he reset rules and horsed his Queen !

Lennie the Lion
This princely lion called Lennie
In the zoo pub he had one too many
He awoke to exposure
Being in the wrong enclosure
Cuddling a princess lioness called Jennie

The Gazelle That Got Away
There once was a hunter called Ray,
Who went big game shooting one day.
As he stalked a gazelle,
A lion caught his smell,
And the predator became prey.

Liberating the Lion

A PETA two went to the zoo
Some cages they’d undo
A lion they freed
And with much speed
He promptly ran them through

Sea Lion and Sea Horse
Sea lion and sea horse were friends of course.
Living in the Pacific of the Norse.
Heard a rumor
Both had a tumor.
Not from an honest reliable source.

A salty sea-lion called Nicky,
Had flippers all snotty and sticky,
Her friend Helen-Rose,
Said "Please blow your nose!"
"And then you won't be quite so picky!"

Yup! That's me, Leo the Lion, King of the Jungle
But really, I'm a pussy cat..did I just hear you chuckle

For Darren White
Lion or Chimpanzee
What if a lion I were to be
Out in field so handsome to see
Or could be leopard who is spotted;
Could tell was him hugely dotted;
Swinging through tree was chimpanzee.

African Lion Safari, a joy to behold
Fenced in wildlife, a vast expanse unfolds

A Hungry Lion
There was a lion who never felt full
So one day he went and ate an entire bull
He felt so good he just kept on roaring
A hunter heard him and bullets were pouring
Full of bull now, he did not know what befell him.

Svelte with a butt that's tight as a drum
Pumping iron

And if you believe that, better lay off the rum!

A lion cub sat in the grass,
Merely watching gnus walking past,
He just scratched his hide,
While the rest of the pride,
Thought his attitude "Really quite crass!"

A Lion named Lou
There once was a Lion named Lou,
who thought he was tougher than you.
He got into a fight,
On the wrong night,
and got beat by a kanga-kung fu!
