She scaled the high steel fence
Into the dangerous lion enclosure.
Spectators gasped in horror
Knowing she was doomed to die.
The fierce lions roared warnings.
The wild-eyed woman roared too.
The lions thundered more roars
And approached the crazy woman
While she spoke gibberish to them.
The lions licked her face kissingly.
The woman licked their faces too,
Turned and waved a long goodbye
And climbed out of the enclosure.
