Oh To Be the King
Regally they strut
Lions have no ought to roar
Status apparent
Establish importance with quiet visibility without vocality

No Chain, No Charm
In Unison-
~No Chain, No Charm~
United we own
Firm, full of finest goodies-
Our ground of freedom.
United we stand
Firm from failure and horror-
On the ground of strength.
United we pray
Faithfully with open mind-
Our bliss is assured.

Champions
they have what it takes
like sunset colors on blue
strength guts and virtue
like the orange sun
they are natural leaders
in red robin days
like rainbow colors
they have that extra something
in triumph or loss

Mountain Climbing
I’m climbing
Above the canyon…the sun
Hits the rocks
I ascend
As I take risk after risk
UP I GO!
I’m climbing
I rely on my own strength
I’m doing FINE!
I descend
While I urgently hold on
For dear life…

Zookeeper
Lookin' after pests
Keepin' a CLOSE eye on 'em
"Those wild animals!"
Roamin' around zoo
Searchin' for sneaky monkey
Hidin' in a tree
Zookeeper gets mad
"Where's Marty, the smartypants!?"
"He TOOK my cage keys!"

Flowers wilt
Dead carcasses are buried
Loved ones mourn
