The Lion and the Parrot
Once we thought we had the lion
The keeper of the laws of the jungle
He made every forest look disorganized
Cause he set beauty in its borders.
The lion won't forever be the King
"four years term" is democratic
Till the parrot won the chair
Causing every citizen to fear.
She knew how to tweet
She made daily a bag of speech
She was good in security
Of course being a bird makes nothing hide in obscurity.
The town got tuned to her sound
And wanted to hear it another season
While we gathered to choose our next chair
They had prophesied her as their heir.
The parrot would not stop speaking
And the listeners can't stop heeding
Till they could take it no more
But break the walls that sets a fall.
