The lion loved the antelope
his love was unrequited
she laughed and said “we can’t elope”
here are the reasons cited:
“The matter of your diet
gives me cause for some alarm
you’d soon eat me, don’t deny it
and I’d rather not be harmed
Your mane is far too hairy
and you haven’t any horns
I confess I find you scary!”
lion’s heart was ripped and torn
Now, he trimmed his mane and tail
lion tried so hard to win her
but found it was to no avail
so ate her for his dinner
Moral
It is an incredible bungle
to be rude to the king of the jungle
