OK, just stand there behind the blind,
Get ready,
Watch the bate. . .Keep watching, keep watching.
There! Shoot!
Wait!
That’s the Lion King! Don’t shoot.
OK, whew! Ready, big guy?
Watch the bate.
Keep watching, keep watching.
There! Shoot!
Wait! Don’t shoot.
That’s King Leonardo!
OK, whew, ready tiger?
Watch the bate. . .Keep watching.
There! Shoot!
Wait! Don’t shoot.
That’s the Friendly Lion.
(Oh, look, he’s waving his tail
To thank you.)
OK, whew, ready Bud?
Watch the bate. . .Keep watching.
There! Shoot!
Wait! Don’t shoot.
That’s Aslan of Narnia. (Man, that’s creepy
The way he looked at you.)
Hey, stay where you are, pal.
What are you doing!
Don’t leave the blind!
Those may not be “real” lions
But fantasy is powerful.
You of all people should know that,
son.
