Jester :
”Why do you lounge like a Lilly on a pond”?
Lion:
"It is so that the Blossom in the wind
Is soundless like a whimsical vagabond...
...It knows of silent pride; tall of a stem
Cut like a cutting from the innocent garden bed
Left to float on sweet droplets there
In a jar to grow both an end”.
...
Though the feline mind seemed knowing
Laughs does the Jester, as he could plainly see
On his warm rock of pride, this Lion
Was as as stern as a pod without his pea
Stuck to the rocky mound
Like a mollusc on a desolate boat
Thoughtful the Jester, he started to juggle
Making a silly knock knock joke
...
"No" said the Lion
“I will not have that here
My mind flows only with the wind
Of thoughts and feelings sincere”
...
"What's not sincere
About the sound of laughter?
Lion do you know ? Can you see?
Could you be any dafter”?
…
"Daft? not me, not I, not at all
It’s you with your jokes and dances
All those silly face pulling antics
You’ll be eaten like the Gazelle that prances”
…
“ So I shall dance, and I shall prance
For you dear Lion will need to eat
Eventually the fun I have in chase
Of folly you will have, will be your defeat
…
" All you will be is t'ween my teeth, just meat”!
...
“ Oh Lion, you must open your mind
Tis Hearts like yours all set in stone
Whom are lost of joy in life, and alas
My friend, you will find yourself alone”...
Wolf
