Lion

Nicolas Crowley

A Lion was on top of a mountain
He was proud to be on top,
For he was strong and calm.
People had feared him at first
And thought he was quite,
Frightening
Until one day he fell asleep
By the bank of the river,
And the people came up
To him and touched him.
They were surprised for
He was soft as kitten,
As he lay asleep
