Dream of a Serengeti scene,
where a lion pride holds rule.
A coalition of cheetah screen
other creatures as the feeding pool.
Zebra zeal fields the plain with caution,
as antelopes in their herd do bound.
Giraffe journey feeds at treetops in proportion
to gazelle, abundantly they’re found.
Harem herd of hartebeest graze
in proximity of a bachelor gang.
Drift coyly in the morning haze,
while predators stalk and show their fang.
A female cheetah spies a stray
that’s shied far from the browsing bunch.
A young topi will be her prey,
short spurt of speed and she has her lunch.
Hyenas drop a lone giraffe,
quick to consume it in their cackle.
Corpse devoured with horrid laugh;
feed fiercely after making tackle.
The regal pride now makes their kill
after hours of a daytime nap.
A wildebeest that’s taken ill
falls victim to a lioness trap.
Sun sets on Serengeti plain,
swallows savannah in cloak of night.
Nocturnal beasts arise to gain
control before the dawning light.
