Vegetarian Lion

Can you spell me what my name is?
Vegetarian Lion V-E-G-E-T-A-R-I-A-N L-I-O-N
Vegetarian Lion, he's a brilliant blind rapper
he's a coin shakin' cup hard wooden cane tapper.

One morning without warning I awoke at dawn
Hungry and thirsty, suppressing a yawn
I trotted out through the daybreak
Searching for prey to slay in meadows and lakes

I went down to the river where all animals go
To shiver and quiver and drink H20
I spied a herd of fat wildebeast
Many were limping I thought this should be easy

So I moved in close in order to see better
but the animals could sense me like I was bad weather
They tensed up. They could feel my presence
like old folks bones when a thunderstorm threatens.

Vegetarian Lion, with his cane and his tin cup
Rappin' out rhythms and livin' it up.
Is rappin' for you, so clap your hands and start grooving too.

Impossible I thought I used to be so sly
I got sad and teary eyed--I cried.
I can't see well, the world looks blurry,
I tripped and fell, I was worried.
I went totally blind in only two weeks time
and now how exactly does a blind lion survive?
I was so blind I couldn't catch my prey,
I needed food that wouldn't run away.

Vegetarian Lion, too blind to hunt
But i can still howl and growl with a scowl if I want!

Tell us what your lunch is boy!!

I make a salad with lots of flavor.
I start with lettuce--normal behavior.
And now is when the fun begins.
It depends on my friends and what I find in my garden...

For you, red peppers and shredded carrots
I'll sprinkle some powdered garlic on top if you can bear it.
Thinly sliced onions and sunflower seeds,
Top it all off with brewer's yeast.
Then the salad dressing, the most important/delicious part
Oh so many combinations to this sacred art!
I'm guessing you like vinegar and olive oil mixed.
Together with salt and pepper makes the flavor even better.
