Strictly against all existing odds
a farmer was having a bad day,
for out of every farm in the county
onto his farm Leo the lion found his way.!

Well, the farmer was very much startled
his mule, dumbstruck was even paler with shock!
The only other farm animal who saw him
was struttng proudly, and was ol' Colonel cock.

His rooster seemed quite impressed with the cat
but, not so much was the farmer's, work mule;
in fact, he quit working, as scared as he was
and ran and hid, like a big, donkey fool!

The head of the hen house proudly ruffled his feathers
and positioned his head way up high,
he then let out a, "cock-a-doodle-doo"!
That echoed loudly throughout the sky.

Well, the lion didn't care much for the Colonel's noise
so, he let out a tumultuous roar;
apparently, he did not like the frequency of this ol' bird
nor did he wish to stick around to hear, more!

Then, the dumb-ass in all of this ruckus
with a brain that was so brightly, "dim";
stood watching as the lion exited the farm
mistakenly thinking, that Leo was afraid of him!

Well, Dumbstruck then proceeded to chase the cat away!
feeling proud that for a work mule, he was brave;
but, when the mule finally caught up with Leo
the pissed-off lion showed him quick! To his grave!

Well, the farmer wasn't at all thrilled with this mayhem
having no working mule, Plus, an empty stall;
he decided that the only moral, could possibly be:
"False pride always goes before a fall"!
