The Lions' Share

The Copenhagen Zoo did such An awful, stupid thing, They should have been prepared For all the fury it would bring. They killed a two year old giraffe, One Marius by name, And fed him to the lions, Adding fire to the flame. They had enough giraffes and so A “surplus” wasn’t needed. Despite the pleas of zoos and people, Boldly, they proceeded. Poor Marius was sacrificed And made into a meal, A horrible decision, Idiotic and surreal.

I guess that's why they call it a zoo. A bunch of animals are running it. Sickening. Wonderful write though. :) Peace. :)
