what kind of kibble can substitute for Hare?
Although her friend, the Hawk, eats sunflower seed
will Mouse wax nervous at her hungry stare?
I contemplate this future state of grace,
this lion-by-lamb, eagle-by-chipmunk view,
this straight-from-heaven, love-each-other place:
Purina research staff, we count on you!

what a beautiful world that would be :)
love it! Your images are very tangible- I can almost see the Lion devouring chunks of veg!

I hope the lion doesn't have too many drinks he is already looking a bit confused. Where will it all end? I have already seen some Flags waving in the breeze in protest of our eating plants!
Great work again GS.
Serious, cute, and well written-all at the same time!
Go Granny, we all dream of how it ought to be, but will it ever work that way?
I love the humour that runs through this..Jae
Ah, the intangibles in life, hoping they become tangible.
granny..you are amazing! Love it! Love u! still smiling! xox
Oh hilarious! The uncomplicated ideals are not always so uncomplicated.
This prophesy of the lion lying with the lamb has always been a mystery for me. How could a carnivorous animal all of a sudden change into a herbivorous one? It would be very difficult to feed all creatures on vegetables and other plants only. It's a very amusing poem, anyway!
Thanks for your very kind comment Mrs. Smith!
Fun one with a perfect punchline.
