Deafening Zoo Deafening 21st May 2004

Dear Mr. Price,

I'm writing now to complain to you,

about an incident at the zoo.

'Twas 19th of May, 2004,

when my son, Jim, was scared by a roar.

There was a big lion, Ponto by name,

with sharp, long teeth and a bristling mane.

And sud'nly my Jim was shaking with fright,

you won't guess why, try as you might!

For he found himself lifted high in the air,

the beast was eating him fair and square!

First his toes, and towards his head,

you tried to save him, but he was dead!


I demand that this should not happen again,

I wish that you had used your brain.

My advice: give the lion more food,

teach him eating boys is not good!

Begin by building a strong, secure cage,

and controlled it will be, the lion's rage!

Do something about it, and do it fast,

and do it while you've still got customers to last!


If you don't, well next time you,

feed that lion, (which I think you do)

you'll meet that same, most terrible fate,

of Jim's, which I did relate.

You see, Ponto may think that humans taste nice,

and eat you up whole, my dear Mr. Price!


Yours sincerely,

V.Angry.
