LIMERICKS BY JASON KNIGHT

                                  "Act I"
                         a collection of limericks

"Zazu's Visit"

Uncle Scar was a grumpy old one
Who would torment a mouse just for fun!
When the bird paid a call
Scar was ready to maul
It's a good thing he hadn't a gun

"Rafiki"

Our mandrill sat down in a tree
And painted Prince Simba with glee
Not to leave it unsaid,
He anointed his head
Symbolic, I think.  Don't you see?

"The First Morning"

A cub sat and secretly spied
On the landscape that stretched far and wide
He succumbed to allure
And demanded a tour
Of the Land of the Rock of the Pride

"Mufasa's speech"

"All you see the light touching is mine.
I mean, OURS, every dot, every line.
And when I pass away
Is the start of YOUR day
But it's not always perfect and fine."

"It's not?"

"There's a thing called the Circle of Life
And it brings you both gladness and strife.
Why it has to bring pain
I can't hope to explain
But it's why you'll make Nala your wife."

"Hey Uncle Scar!  Guess what."

While Mufasa gave poachers a chase
Simba stuck himself right in Scar's face
Uncle Scar let it slip
Not to dare take a trip
To a magical mystery place!

"No Place for a Young Prince"

To the north, as the histories say,
Was a sight you don't see every day
And they save every cave
For the bold and the brave
'Twas a graveyard where elephants lay!

"Nala's Invitation"

Simba whispered to Nala the news
And there wasn't a moment to lose
So some hide and some seek
Lost the guy with the beak
Then the two were left free to peruse.

"The Trap"

True, the graveyard sure opened their eyes
But the valley held one big surprise:
Out among all the ru'ns
Were Scar's trio of goons
No one said anything 'bout those guys!

"The Rescue"

When it looked like the end of the fight
Who should come but Mufasa!  All right!
They got out of there fast
And, as evening had passed,
It was starting to turn into night.
