Poetry, Noteriety and Society - A South African Likely Lad

First and foremost,I am a South African writer of sometimes fine fiction, poetic commentary, ramblings & musings about my beloved South Africa and the world at large. Please forgive me if my commentary does have dreamer like leanings and tendencies, honestly I do try to behave. Secondly, I am creative in a grammatical sense, but I humour myself, thinking how grand it is that I bastardise a colonial language with such flair and arrogance. Now pat on my back by way of my explanation mark ;)

Roar Deal!

O Lion! Where art thou?

South African streets cry and bow.

Where does thou hide?

C'mon! Show your pride.

And yet - look at the Fox,

Walking London majestically.

Eating food semi domestically,

Ignoring stories of them acting slyly.

How the foreigners talk,

They hear tales of you walk.

Yet you nowhere to be seen,

Maybe its time you came clean.

Safari parks is where you are mister,

Parading for many a rich visitor.

From big game to big money,

Did you sell your country?

Just a fun poem, bit tongue in cheek.
