Savannah Song



Lions lie lazily in the limpid light

Elephants effortlessly enter, effecting egrets' flight

Cheetahs chase chipper chimps in channeled tracks

Secretary birds stealthily stalk snakes for snacks

 

Leopards loll languidly, lithe and lissome

Wildebeest wander, their wee waifs so winsome 

Buffalo brash about, bellowing, boorish and brassy 

Swift servals slink by, sleek and sassy

 

Monkeys meander with muttering maws

Giraffe jounce juicy leaves with gyrating jaws

Gorillas grunt gruffly in gravelly tones

Zebras...um...I have nothing further to say about the zebras. They know what they did.
