Lion And Mouse Poem by Mittur Ramprasad

LION AND MOUSE


KING OF THE JUNGLE LION ROARED IN ANGER
WAGGING ITS TAIL SLEEP DISTURBED SHOWING ITS TEMPER
REACHED ACROSS LIKE LIGHTNING WITH ITS SHARP PAWS
CAUGHT THE MOUSE THAT WAS RUNNING AWAY WITH ITS CLAWS

HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT MY SNORING, SO EXPLAIN
YOU LITTLE MIDGET BEFORE DYING HAVE YOU ANY CLAIM
TREMBLING WITH FEAR MOUSE REPLIED WITH REVERENCE
HELP I WILL IN FUTURE IF YOU FORGIVE ME THIS INSTANCE

KING OF THE JUNGLE LION EXPLODED IN LAUGHTER IN CONTEMPT
CREATURE SO LITTLE WHAT CAN YOU OFFER YOU INEPT
ALRIGHT I WILL EXCUSE, GO AWAY FROM MY PRESENCE
YOU ARE AN AMUSE NIGHT AND DAY, YOU LITTLE MENACE

NOT LONG AFTER MOUSE HAD LEFT FEELING GRATEFUL
HEARD A ROAR OF CRYING HEART OF LION IN TROUBLE
TIPTOEING MOUSE SAW LION TRAPPED IN A NET OF HUNTER
HURRYING IT WAS, TEETH RAZOR SHINE LIKE A WARRIOR

IN NO TIME MOUSE FREED THE KING OF JUNGLE
FREE AND FEELING FINE LION WAS SMILING FEELING HUMBLE
PRAISED THE MOUSE FOR ITS EFFORT ACKNOWLEDGING THE TRUTH
LIKE THE SAYING GOES, EVERY HEART HAS A PLACE ON THIS EARTH
