The Despotic Elephant


by DonJuan Writer


An elephant with fascist tendencies,
And various exotic dependancies,
Kept his eye on,
That there King Lion,
Frustrated by his monarchic propensities.

He made plans to over-throw,
Thinking the Lion's popularity low,
But he was discovered,
When his habits were uncovered,
Which was lucky, because he was despotic, you know.

The Lion had him thrown in jail,
And thought that was the end of that tale,
But the elephants allies,
Filled his party with lies,
And the economy started to fail.

The land dried up and starvation came,
Further waves in the political game,
Survival of the fittest,
Became survival of the shittest,
And the Lion took most of the blame.

In jail, the elephant saw in a glance,
That now was the time for his chance,
He used his selections,
Of media connections,
And spun the lion a merry dance.

Now the political tide was turning,
As the populous were quickly learning,
Hierarchy doth suck,
When you're down on your luck,
Lion's kingdom was in need of a burning.

The jackal, the vulture and the monkey,
Put their support to the despotic junky,
"Who will lead,
Our land in need?"
"I, Elephant!" He was out with one key.

The elephant is now in charge,
Destroying enemies with the simplest of barge,
To all you creatures,
With beautiful features,
Get the lion in you and charge.
