A Roaring Shame

Once upon a jungle
In a land not far away

There was an awful bungle
In a den where lions lay.
There were two mighty
lions…
I’ve made a mistake there…
One was a mighty lioness,
Now, that’s being right and fair.

These two awesome beasties
Were parents fond and proud
Of a litter of loitering lion cubs
That called out clear and loud.

The lion cubs, they grew on,
And soon they lost their mew,
All but the strongest, oldest son.

Boomba – The Lion Kid

Boomba was the lion king’s son. He had a bright yellow coat and his mother often told him lovingly, “Boomba, you look like a ball of wool!” His parents were very proud of him and knew that one day he would grow up to be the handsomest lion around.But Boomba was not happy with his looks. At times he secretly desired a beautiful tail like the peacock’s or wings like the butterfly’s. All his friends were tired of him, because in the middle of a game he would always stop and ask, “How do I look?”.
