Limerick: “King-Kitty” is the 7th installment in the star-crossed limerick series titled: “Star Charts”. This series spoofs a horoscope every month. To start at the beginning, click: “Waterboy”
And now on to Leo
my favorite by far!
(you can’t really blame me)
the Lion’s my Star—
my house in the heavens
my home on the range,
the Kitty that rules both
stellar and plains,
King of the Lions
and all beasties, too,
and best hair of all—
is generally true.
Our element’s Fire
to match our fierce ways,
our planet’s the Sun
and all its fierce rays,
we’re prideful & boastful
and happiest when—
we’re in a room full of
loud-talking friends,
vying & trying for
center of stage,
to bask in the moment
of Lion uncaged.
Beyond these conceits
that aren’t really harming,
we’re loyal to fault—
& sometimes quite charming,
we worry about
impressions we make,
but also shrug off
the negative prates,
of those wishing Lions
to tame down their show,
that’s not how we do it
that ain’t how we roll.
Case in point: Simba
did he bow to Scar?
and if he had bowed…
Would that not have marred?
the finest of movies—
and good allegory,
that teaches the tots
a fable-like story,
detailing need for
respecting of others,
no matter demeanor
since beasties are brothers.
Yes, it’s good to have heroes
packing some punch,
and Leo does that
by crowning the bunch,
of bright double-stars
that make up our cluster,
shining on earth,
with double-bright luster.
Welcoming all—
in the world to our glow,
‘cause that’s how we do it!
And that’s how we roll.

Jonathan, thank you! A real wonderful surprise upon my return from a great run…my evening has a nice glow. 🙂 🙂 If you’re a Leo–happy birthday (ish)–!
GOT A RE-BLOG!!!! And you hve three more awards to colect, if you want: http://bythemightymumford.wordpress.com/2013/08/02/the-award-trio/.
You know? That sounds awesome right about now…it’s been a heckuva week / month / year, so happily I do accept. My acceptance post might be a skosh late because I have a lot of computer work to do on another’s behalf at the moment, but I will look at this as my “fun” project, and take a break from the required for the inspired as time constraints allow.
🙂 You’re just GR8! ‘Hope your summer’s been chillin’ & sunny both…
