On Safari

Lions, they are for hunting.
That's what my dentist said.
He shot one through the eye.
Twelve hours later, it was dead.

I don't know if that hurt him.
(He was actually quite relaxed.)
But I would feel a bit of a shit
having to hack
off its bleeding
head
and cut
through
the stringy
and
troublesome
sinews
with a saw
and
ax.
