A Lullaby for a Lion



Hush little baby, don’t lose hope
Mama’s gonna catch you an antelope

And if your tummy rumbles more
Mama’s gonna run down a wild boar

And if that boar’s too boring for you
Mama’s gonna net you a nummy gnu

And if that gnu just runs and laughs
Mama’s gonna hunt down a herd of giraffes

And if those giraffe should scamper east
Mama’s gonna bag you a wildebeest

And if that wildebeest’s too wary
Mama’s gonna slaughter a whole safari

And if that safari bails (how rude!)
Mama’s gonna send out for Chinese food

The pic reminds me of a kitteh I knew and loved. She liked to make me happy and she would do continue to do things that would elicit laughter. I used to shoot rubber bands near her, she would get chase them and fight with them. One day she was on the dining table and I shot a rubber band into a glass bowl that was next to her. She grabbed it up and then put it back in the bowl to try to grab it from the outside. She flipped that rubber band in and out of that bowl for fifteen minutes with me howling with laughter the whole time.
