“Lion’s Den”

By: Ali M. Wagner

You hear the roar,

I make it known,

That I am the ruler,

I am the king.

This is my turf.

I lazily lay,

Listening to my cubs,

Cheerfully playing.

My females are out on the prowl,

To bring back a carcass,

For the pride to eat.

When another male comes around,

I will fight to the death,

To prove,

That this is my pride,

And no other Simba,

Will be allowed here,

This is my kingdom.
