Captain Laramie Lion
An Ode to Captain Laramie Lion
Captain Laramie the Lion
Never felt at peace
On the plains of Africa
As much as the seas
The odd one out
He favoured the fish
Over the buffalo
As his favourite dish
His journey began
The day he was caught
By illegal poachers
From Somewhere up north
Locked in a cage
And put upon a ship
Laramie picked the lock
And gave them the slip
He ate every man
Upon that boat
And became the captain
And wore the captain’s coat
When he reached a port
He assembled a crew
A motley bunch
Drunk from too much brew
From that day forward
Laramie rode the waves with ease
No longer king of the jungle
He was now king of the seas
The End
