🦁 Leo the Lion — A Happy Jungle Poem for Kids
In the jungle wild, under the sun,
Lived a lion, Leo, who couldn’t run.
He roared with might, but one small flaw,
He couldn’t hunt, he’d drop his jaw.
He tried to chase, the antelope fleet,
But always tripped, over his own feet.
He’d pounce on prey, with all his might,
But they’d just laugh, then take to flight.
The other lions, they would cheer,
"Come on, Leo, show no fear!"
But poor old Leo, sighed so deep,
"I’d rather eat some veggies, cheap."
One day while lounging, in the sun,
He met a turtle, named Sir Bun.
"Why so glum?" Sir Bun did ask,
Leo sighed, "I can’t hunt, it’s such a task."
"Fear not," said Bun, "I’ve got a plan,
We’ll start a band, you’ll be the man!"
Leo perked up, his eyes so bright,
"A band, you say? That sounds just right!"
They gathered friends, from far and near,
A monkey on drums, a deer with cheer.
With Leo’s roar, the band did play,
The jungle rocked, both night and day.
In the jungle wild, joy was born,
Leo found his place, with a musical horn.
For dreams come true, in the strangest way,
When you find your path, come what may.
