As dimmed the lights and rolled the drums

We waited the entertainer

The spotlight hit the centre ring –

Marvo, the Great Lion Tamer.

 

He twirled his cape and cracked his whip

As tension among us increased

And then, behold, we heard its roar

And saw the king of the beasts.

 

It was eight feet long and five feet high

And held to its stand by a chain

It gaped with its jaws some two feet wide

And majestically shook at its mane.

 

“My Lords, Ladies and Gentlemen”

The Magnificent Marvo began

“Tonight you will see the greatest feat

Performed by lion and man”.

 

With that he pulled down his zipper

And slipped his cock in its jaws

The lion gaping motionless

As Marvo milked the applause.

 

Then after five or ten seconds

He popped his todger away

Then turned to us and raised his arms

Exultant from his display.

 

“A thousand pounds I will offer

If anyone dares to repeat

The spectacle you have just witnessed

This death defying feat”

 

An audible silence fell on us

A murmur no longer a roar

Some looked around at each other

Many just looked to the floor.

 

But then the silence was broken

I heard, “I’ll give it a go”

A little old lady two seats away –

Jesus! It was my Aunt Flo!

 

She made her way to the ringside

Where Marvo stood in surprise

“A thousand pounds, you say?” she said

He nodded and widened his eyes.

 

She said “I’ll give it my best shot

But nevertheless despite trying

I might not be able to open

My mouth as wide as the lion”.
