My pride: A poem by William Warigon

I am the African lion king
Others chorus when I sing 
I am the proud emperor of the Savannah
I swish, swag and strut like bougainvillea

My cubs,  precociously precious 
Like me are bastion so audacious 
They wear the crown of my pride 
With the panache that I do ride 

When I roar, the vast Savannah trembles 
I’m summer storm’s thundering rumbles 
I am the master all that I survey 
None dare disobey what I convey 

I am the proud progenitor of future pride
Having the best of lionesses as my brides
I define awesomeness like the Jupiter
Apt to crush to powder any competitor 

My lion pride is my very pride 
My majestic might must glide
As a testament to my proud root
I am proud of my pride, to boot
