'''Title: Hubert the Lion'''

'''Author: GreyPawn's Lore'''
------------------------------------

Hubert the lion was 
haughty and vain, and 
especially proud of his 
elegant main.
But conceit of this 
sort is not proper at 
all, and Hubert the 
lion was due for a 
fall.

One day as he 
sharpened his claws 
on a rock, he received 
a most horrible 
terrible shock.

A flaming hot spark 
flew up into the air, 
came down on his head 
and ignited his hair.

With a roar of 
surprise he was off 
like a streak, away 
through the jungle to 
Zamboozi creek.

He jumped in 
kersplash with a 
shower of bubbles, and 
came bobbing up with 
a head full of 
stubbles.

At first he just 
stared with a wide 
open mouth, at the 
cloud of black smoke 
drifting off to the 
south.

The he felt with his 
paws just in back of 
his ears, and suddenly 
realized the worst of 
his fears.

I'm Ruined he shouted 
oh what shall I do, 
I'd rather be dead or 
go live in a zoo.

And if anyone sees 
me, oh what a 
disgrace. I'd better 
discover a good hiding 
place.

He looked all around 
till he finally spied, 
an old hollow tree 
with a hole in one 
side.

He squeezed himself 
in, but the fit was 
too tight. The last 
half of Hubert was 
still in plain sight.
