My Little Doe Manita!

 



Little doe,with spots all over!

Manita is her nick name!

The doe looked so cute

 As she walked around the yard.

The lions were after her!

“Just feel like gulping her

So delicious a meal would she be!”

Thought the chief lion ,

As the cute doe walked

Guarded by it’s big Dad.

Dad deer was bit wise,

Advised the doe Manita

“Avoid the hungry lion’s way,

Pray you don’t end up as its prey!

But little doe thought, it is wiser!

‘My old Dad knows nothing

That day I asked him

X+ax b/a=what?

He blinked and said‘All I know is X is not Y’

So old fashioned  is he!

Yes! My friend doe s told !

They have status updates,

That lion’s have changed a lot!

My friends know better!

They have google with them!

My friends also told me

‘Lions and doe s are equal!

‘Let’s not change our ways !

It’s time lions change their ways!

Why can’t they change their diet?

Why can’t they eat grass?

It’s all their arrogance!

Let us all teach them a lesson!

So they all determined not to change their way.

One day Manita had special class

Early in the morning at 6.30 a.m.

Dad deer was fast asleep

Manita went alone

Walked the lion’s way.

Hungry lion was waiting for a tasty meal.

Spotted the cute little doe!

Sporting a iphone ,

Wearing mini skirts!

That evening the Dad deer was sobbing

near the iphone and the orphaned school bag

lying on the ground.

‘Manita! Manita !’Dad cried loud

‘Didn’t I tell you?’

Lions are lions and doe s are doe s!

Why did n’t you listen?

Manita’s friends heard his cry

They were also moved.

‘Manita is a martyr for our rights!’

They  decided to continue

Their fight for right

to tread the lion’s way!

By all means ,

as the candle flame fluttered

‘Predators!Change your diet!’

The slogan rant the air!

Each year passed

With more martyrs adding to the list.

Manita,Savita,Gravita….ta…ta

The fight for the right goes on

As the grass grown spreads across continents!

And the lions remained lions.
