The Lion

A majestic beast, so big and tall
You can hear from miles, his mighty roar
The king of the animals, by all he is feared
He stands tall and proud, with his big brown beard
Loyal and brave, he protects his kind
With his powerful jaws, flesh and bone he can grind
A powerful warrior, his enemies run
With his strength and speed, he’s more deadly than a gun
If you annoy him, he will charge at you
But this lion can’t do these things because he is a statue
