Poetry Thursday

 

Once again, Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetaton have provided us with a photo for Poetry Thursday

Lucy was a beautiful lion cat

But she had some dreams bigger than that

She had a dream that gripped her 

She wanted to be a stripper.

When Lucy was little she told her mom

About her dreams and she was told they were dumb

“You don’t have clothes, you have fur

You’re the queen of the jungle, not some amateur.

In the playground, the other lions jumped and ran wild

While Lucy did the bump and grind.

For her birthday she asked for a pole.

And was upset when she got a guy from Warsaw named Nole. 

Lucy had no interest in learning how to survive in the jungle.

She was more interested in being a fun gal.

Fearing for her life her parents called the zoo keeper

Keeping her from the grim reaper.

At the zoo, Lucy delighted the crowds. 

If her parents could see her they would be proud

Her bones rattled and her body quaked.

To see her people waited for hours on the interstate.

She slips, she slides, she slops, she bops, she bumps, she grinds.

She was certainly one of a kind

People were so happy seeing her grab her toes.

She was the famous lion stripper with no clothes

So if you want to see the biggest show 

To the club off the interstate you go Honestly she danced like a cross between Elaine Benes and Helen Keller.

But sometimes when you have a lion who can't dance it is best not to tell her
