When sated, our cat would sprawl flat
In the sun by the wall, and with that
Would announce to us all
That if vermin should call,
She would rather not maul them, so scat!
--- Anon

The cat is a curious creature,
There's nothing that you'll ever teach her.
Except when she flees
To the top of the trees,
Where even firefighters can't reach her.
--- Tony Burrell

There must be a clause in the laws,
That says you can't cut my claws.
It doesn't make sense
To remove my defense,
When you damage my quadruped paws.
--- William K Alsop Jr

We have an intelligent cat
Who refuses to hunt mouse or rat.
She'll lie and wait
For food on her plate.
Now who can blame her for that.
--- Anon

The he-cat sat on a high board fence,
The she-cat sat on the ground.
The tom made a pass
At the pussycat's ass,
And the world went around and around.
--- G1234

There once was a fellow named Matt,
Whose dick was quite long and quite fat.
But I'm willing to bet
The only pussy he'll get
Is when he goes home to his cat!

The brave lion tamer McGee
Leapt into the cage with great glee.
Leo Rex gave a start
And said, "Hi there, thweetheart.
Ooooh, a whip! I juth love B and D."
--- Michael Weinstein P8711

A young lion tamer named Gibb
Is usually brave; that's no fib.
But he ran out with a shout
When the lion whipped out
Some A1 Steak Sauce and a bib.

Dumb Androcles left his young squaw,
Walked out in the jungle, and saw
Around half past noon,
In the light of the moon,
A lion a-licking his paw.
--- Tiddy Ogg

Now, where was I? Andy, half-wit,
Goes up to the beast: "Kitty kit.
Come show Uncle Andy,
What's that in your handy?"
And pulls a big thorn from its mitt.
--- Tiddy Ogg

A melon, quite hairy, rolls by.
"Hi lion"'s its most friendly cry.
It doesn't reply.
The melon asks why.
"I'm shy, hairy melon, I'm shy."
--- Tiddy Ogg

You what? It's a very old pun?
And how, even I, think it fun,
Is surely a mystery?
Look kid, this is history,
And back then it hadn't been done.
--- Tiddy Ogg

The lion says: "Andy, that trick
Was neat, and they say you are thick.
So you I'll not maul;
But give me a call,
When you're stuck and I'll get you out quick."
--- Tiddy Ogg

So Andy goes off, with a wave,
To see his old mate, hermit Dave.
But troops, far from home,
From Egypt or Rome,
Soon carry him off as a slave.
--- Tiddy Ogg

He worked there for Queen Neferblutu,
Who danced in a leopard-skin tutu.
On an errand to town
To the park he went down...
In the zoo he viewed someone he knew, too.
--- Tiddy Ogg

You guessed! It was that hairy melon,
On roller skates, going like hell on
Wheels, but our man
Simply grabbed it and ran,
With it stuffed up his shirt, wicked felon.
--- Tiddy Ogg

What now? Yes, of course they had skates,
They raced them downhill in those states,
That's what, nothing more,
The pyramids were for
As Ovid or Homer relates.
--- Tiddy Ogg

He's caught! What's the sentence? To die on
A cross? Or a spit roast to fry on?
The judges all ponder,
Say "Send him out yonder.
The zoo. Throw him in with the lion."
--- Tiddy Ogg

And the lion is? That's right, you guessed!
Dumb Androcles, too, is impressed.
"I pulled from your pad,
A thorn, my old lad,
So now, puss, of friends we're the best."
--- Tiddy Ogg

Old Leo, he opens one eye,
And pityingly looks at the guy.
"You sure are a twit,
So far we are quits,
You soothed my sore foot, son, but I...
--- Tiddy Ogg

..."Then let you escape with your life,
I then went and ate up your wife.
So now I'll eat you,
With no more ado."
And he did, without fork, spoon or knife.
--- Tiddy Ogg

So Andy got no laurel wreath,
This moral, though, he did bequeath:
With pussy's take care,
And always beware,
'Cause some have got bloody great teeth.
--- Tiddy Ogg

There was a mean man of Melbourne,
Whom folks wished had never been born.
So they bid him adieu
Via lions at the zoo;
Then went off to party till dawn.
--- Don Humphries

Last night, with my friend, old Bill Ryan,
We crawled round the pubs, got real high on
That apple-based brew,
Then went to the zoo,
And there fed the squirrels to the lion.
--- Anon

Some seasonal spirit you lack;
Them squirrels were merely a snack,
Like eating a bunch
Of small mice for your lunch;
Now go back and feed Leo a yak.
--- Anon

Simba's lord of his lions no more,
Because Africa's unwritten law
Forces leaders who're tested
To go when they're bested.
Simba left with a half-hearted roar.
--- David A Brooks Q

The lioness charged at their backs;
The woodsman turned back with his axe.
The lion, outsmarted,
Her head and neck parted,
In consequence ceased her attacks.
--- Laurence Perrine P8812

This puss was abandoned, James knew,
And a stray takes a risk near the zoo.
So he whispered, "Here kitty,"
And held out, from pity,
A hand but the lion took two.
--- David A Brooks Q

There was a little man from Zion
Who believed that he was a lion;
He roamed on the plain
With might and with mane;
His roar could be heard at Orion.

Who then begat a weighty scion.
He roared like all hell,
But he could not tell
An atom from a charged ion.

For his research, much better than rats;
But a lion espied him,
Gulped doc down inside him;
All's left of the Doc now are scats!

Thinking he'd injured his pride.

Was to shoot him a lion, The man

For victims in ambush he'll lie in.
And those who protest
That he's not the best,
Inside of his stomach are lyin'.

The lioness in her domain
Competes with her mate for the reign.
In hunting she's stunning.
In courtship, she's cunning,
And wrestles with might and with mane.

The kings of the beasts are the lions;
The grasslands they stalk with defiance,
Their pride in full view;
But seen in a zoo,
They're nought but a passel of lie-ins.

In Circus Maximus berserk,
The lions on the Christians work.
As Romans blase gaze
And grisly paraphrase,
"Inside each beast a man doth lurk."

He is fierce like his noble Queen-mother.

For feasting together,
The menu reads simply "Each Other."

I'm the lion what ain't loin down;
Goodbye obelisk,
Farewell odalisque,
I'm the loin what ain't lion down.

All lions are dangerous creatures.
Take care what you state
Of their pride or their mate,
Or they will with might and mane eat yours.

With all of his might,
But the lion, he ran with his mane.

A most kingly beast is the lion,
And you'd best keep your eye on his scion.

His jaws and claws click,
And believe me, he's no dandelion.

Who was bitten one day by a lion.

Loves to sponsor magnificent feasts.

If your role is as guest's, not a yeast's

I found a poor lion with sores.
I gave it some pills
To cure all its ills.
Now it never pains but it roars.

You get vicious bitings from boars.
But a toothless old lion
Won't leave people cryin';
It never pains but it roars.

A tamer stood in the lion's cage,
Attempting to curb the beast's rage.
The creature awoke;
The chair quickly broke,
And the man stopped increasing in age.

To arrive in September, have all
Of their traveling done
By the equinox sun?
Because pride always comes before fall.

Each male animal he had his eye on!

Decided a zebra to eat.

Got kicked in the face,
And returned to the pride in defeat.

Saying, "Son, be the one
To follow this piece of advice."

Don't mess with equines in yon vale.

Are clearly the types
Of uniformed horses in jail!"

Looking for a warm shoulder to cry on."
