The beautiful creature
Lives in a cage
Waiting, waiting
For his freedom
He used to run
All strong and free
In the zig-zagging path
Of the glamorous, lively jungle
He used to have his pals
All behind him
Like his own footsteps on the ground
The wind rushed through his fur as he ran
“Swish swash”
His tail chasing his dangly mane
He “roars”, He “whimpers”
He is miserable in this cage
As miserable looking as a stormy ocean
He wants to be free
CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND!
