All Tired Out

All fired up, all tired out, The lion cub was through And now there wasn't any doubt, For no more could he do... His little legs had run a mile, By chasing all that moved And though he lasted for a while, Right now he must be soothed... His precious paws had tender toes, His muscles needed rest, He only had a tiny nose For air from east to west... He watched the gliding clouds go by And lay there hypnotised, As they serenely sailed the sky Across the land he prized... One day he'd be the lion king Who'd dominate for sure, The guardian over everything That life prepared him for... Just give him time, for destiny To bring these truths about... And leave his royal majesty, Today, all tired out!
