Adult Fable/Poetry.......King of the Jungle--no more...

"King of the Jungle--no more ...(at the Bronx Zoo)"............an adult fable

Grwr-grwr-grr, growled the Lion as the mischievous monkey, precariously perched on the tree limb above, released his urine on the jungle King's head...

Laughing, shrieking and whaling, although frightened inside. The monkey pissed on the Lion and the Lion was pissed to the nine.

What do I do, if the Lion should climb, thought the monkey to himself, this tree that I am now on.

The Lion, being pissed said, this tree I shall climb, to beat that little monkey's ass for good, and one last time.

The monkey, being mischievous yet smart, challenged the Lion to give him a beating, high up in the tree.

The Lion, in haste and without thought, eagerly accepted the challenge-- he barreled up the tree, saying to himself, this little monkey won't be fucking with me---no more.

As the enraged Lion approached the scared little monkey high up in the tree, the King of the Jungle said, little monkey, you have fucked with me, now, for the very last time, because from this point forward, "your ass is mine".

The monkey, now really frightened, realized he had overdone it , pleaded to the Lion for his life and forgiveness.

The Lion, about to strike the monkey with zest and ferocity, heard the limb crackle suddenly and gravity pull him downwardly.

With speed and acceleration never quite seen before, the Lion crashed to the floor.

Now broken and beaten in body and spirit, the King of the jungle-- was king no more..........

The mischievous monkey, although terrorized and frightened, realized he was safe, sound and alive.

For having beaten the King of the jungle, although the monkey got lucky, now thinks himself wise.
