The Lioness

A nap suits her, so she slumbers in the tall

thicket.

Mistaking her slumber as an opportunity to

leave an oh so obvious subliminal scent

it’s not a good idea.

She’s smart and can smell it in her sleep.

No need for her to get up now. Such small

feed, it’s not worth the trouble, besides, she’s

not that hungry anyway.

When the time is right, one swift elegant pounce

and this uninvited nuisance will wind up being a

mere appetizer.

Do not provoke her by entering her

domain.

She protects what’s hers…lioness that she is.
