The Dandy Lion- A Poem

Last night I saw a dandy lion
prancing in the grass
he wore pink shoes and a coat of wool
and a crown made out of glass

He frolicked under the moon so bright
the light caught on his mane
His tail so high waved towards the sky
like he was the top of the food chain

His teeth just glittered in a twisted smile
he hummed a delightful tune
he blinked and he winked with every turn
as his green eyes caught sight of the moon

He stopped and he stared as he saw me there
then he motioned me close with his claws
so I joined in his dance where we both could prance
My hands clapped in his paws

As the dusk approached and the bull frogs croaked
my friend bowed and said his goodbyes
but he smiled all the while as he shimmied away
Into a bush with fireflies

Now some people may think a dandelion
grows up and around from the ground
with seeds of white that take a feathery flight
when the wind blows them up and around

But little do they know what a dandy lion does
when the stars and moon come out
Just take a trip into the fields of mist
and find what dandy lions are all about
