I didn't have to outrun the lion

THIS IS A FICTIONAL POEM.

A man and I were in a tent when we heard a lion roar.

I knew that I had to start running or I wouldn't be alive anymore.

That guy said "You must be crazy, a lion can't be outran."

But I didn't have to outrun the lion, I had to outrun that man.

The lion caught up to that man and ate him.

I was faster, that's why he met a fate so grim.

If I had been slower, I would've been that lion's dinner.

But I was very determined, that's why I was the winner.

If you and another person hear a lion, you'd better put on your running shoes.

And you'd better pray that you're faster or your life is something you'll lose.
