Drama Queen

by tempeste

Once my mighty roar would enthrall
my crushing jaw and huge paws

would draw large crowds
but now folks are all
flocking to meet that small ball
of lard.

Fancy being dethroned
by an overgrown
dog of all things.

This is a nightmare
being bested by that tiny pest
It's causing me much stress.

Am I or am I not the king ?

Oh dear husband of mine , give it time
and you will be back in the limelight.

As soon as the bouncy pig
outgrows her cuteness
people will lose interest.

Mark my word, humans
are such fickle beings.

So enough bitching
and wasting time
thinking about
that klein water equine.

Stop acting like a clown
and wipe away that frown
no need to have a

nervous break down
just start the countdown.

Unaware of the melodrama

in the lion's den,

baby hippo Moo Deng,

normally a bundle

of joy splashing in puddles,

was dealing with a problem.

Again folks were using food

as darts to wake her up

while she was snoozing

in her pen.

Mother, why do Humans
