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.
