African Lion – Vicious Lies

African Lion

Vicious Lies

His orbs seem kind
but I'll remind

Such feline eyes
tell vicious lies

Those well-set jaws
should give one pause

His lips conceal
a treach'rous deal

Because beneath
are rending teeth

And when eyes flare
teeth rip and tear

So beware
that gentle stare

For if you err
you might not fare
