Jungle Juice

 


All these vultures hovering around their prey:

Three golden prizes

Who will get there first?

Cue David Attenborough on commentary!

Coupled and single lions

Prowling about

Waiting for the chance of food and drink.

 

That coffee takes ages.

Coffee?

Yes, for this is my local

And my pack and I

Are thoroughly enjoying our ale

With our lovely lunches

Served to us by beautiful barmaids.

 

Those golden prizes are the three front tables

From where you can see the golden sand:

On a beach

Dotted with distant tiny people

As some frolic in the estuary waves

On paddle boards,

Basking in the glorious sun.

Time for another pint.
