Story 95

As the Lion Leapt

Through the fields the safari swept

Until we came upon a lioness that slept.

Silently we crept

But the beast woke.

Our passage, it would not accept.

We were terribly inept

And instantly wept;

That is, all except,

Our guide who kept,

A lariat,

With which to make an adept

Intercept,

Of the lion as it leapt.
