The King of Beasts Fetes the Animal Kingdom
When he threw a sumptuous banquet to honor all his minions,
they showed up by the thousands via hoof and fin and pinions.
He planned a sumptuous feast , hoping that it would invigorate,
but instead the meal he’d seved only served to agitate.
The pelicans were shocked by the roast turkey and fried chicken,
for they found such a diet to be less than finger-licken’.
The shrimp cocktail shocked the flounder and made the tuna ill.
Before they even had a bite, they found they’d had their fill.
The black Angus were all traumatized when they were served the veal.
Sheep couldn’t eat the mutton and Baaah-humbugged the whole meal.
Thus, one-by-one they found the king of beasts to be barbarian.
How short-sighted he’d been not to just go with vegetarian!

So funny and so true nowadays!

Yes..that was their fear. Strange that there is no word I could find to name an animal that eats ones of its own species..No cannibal equivalent. I did learn the word anthropophagite, though I bet I’ve forgotten it by tomorrow.

Hmmm…. I don’t know either. But some animals do eat their own young, like snakes!

Some sea creatures as well. I had to use some poetic license.
