A circus of verse in the lion’s den

When I had my head
in the lion’s mouth
what did I see?
Did I see
the contents
from the night before?
No!
Was my soul
somewhere down there?
No!
Did I find what
I was looking for
in my quest?
No!
I only felt
the echoes
from my screams.



So how was dinner last night?
It was bloody awful!
Who was it this time?
Oh! Some old poet
tickling my throat
with his recited verses.
Really! That bad.
Yes! I nearly threw up!
Pass me a tooth pic will you.
Thanks, still got a few lines
stuck between
my pearly whites.

An excellent satire of life's fearful situations. I picture you on a Safari chased by a lion or a lioness. Just hop in the kangaroos pocket and off you go safe. Lol

Thank you King Sami let us all survive the lion’s jaws.

Hehehe! You are welcome sir.

That lion should be grateful it was a poet and not a lawyer hahaha. A fun piece of satire Andrew. I enjoyed this poem.

Thank you Carlos

Venturing inward to fashion a poem can be dangerous. You might find nothing and end up being regurgitated.

Haha thank you John.
