Description
"The Lion"
by Tim Chambers
"Please listen one, and listen all
To epic tale, as I recall
To weak of heart, I bid adieu
For now commence, my ode to you.
When I was six, or maybe younger
Down deep inside, I felt a hunger
To see the world, to set my sail
As to my quest, I would not fail.
I planned escape for dawn's first light
For still afraid the dark of night
With stealth I crept by parent's door
I jumped in fear, 'twas just Dad's snore.
On down the hall to living room
I did not know what terrors loom
I crouched in fear, TICK TOCK TICK TOCK
I sighed relief, just mantle's clock.
Then in search of bread and jelly
I could not leave on empty belly
O' would it cease, this hunger stop?
I could not reach the countertop.
My plan awry, I forged ahead
No turning back, once left my bed
With firm resolve, I left the house
As quiet as a frightened mouse.
Across the lawn, to fence out back
Prepared to face, unknown attack
What evils lurked? I must beware
Behind the shed, in jungle there.
Amidst the leaves, I heard a sound
It was a lion! My heart did pound
With razor teeth, and claws of steel
A certain death, what pain I'd feel.
What could I do? I had no gun
My only course, turn tail and run
Back in the house and down the hall
With panting breath, on bed did fall.
Then down the hall, I heard a door
Was Mom and Dad, they slept no more
I heard Mom say, "Now what was that? "
"Oh, back door's open, it's just the cat. "
My ode is over, and I must go
My tale of danger, my tale of woe
It is finished, the lesson heed
To all of you, goodbye, Godspeed."
Evening everyone!!! Sorry about that long poem, but i just think it

Wow... reminds me of the old Barnum and Bailey's promotional poster! Cool... yup, even the LONG poem. Heeeere Kitty, kitty... :0)

To me, she looks a bit sleepy. Perhaps though, she's just playing "cat-and-mouse!" B&W works well to accent her white coat. As always, the range of your talent and vision is awesome.

Not Nala, SIMBA! Lovely portrait of this fuzzy wonder. The poem contributes an added depth as well. Wonderful job my good man!

Awsome shot. Like the choice of B&W. Have a great week at work, eventhough it sounds pretty tough. Don't ever let work get to you, It is JUST a JOB. Do the job and go home and enjoy your family and your hobbies. At least that is the way I try to look at it. Great image as always. 5's all the way across.

Beautiful shot of such a fascinating creature. I hope I get to see some of these when I go to the zoo. I'd rather see them in the wild....but I'm a big chicken! lol Anyway, wonderful presentation and I'm sorry to hear about your icky work week coming up. But it will give you a chance to do more drop shots, yes? :D
