Well, I'm not much of a poet -- but I'll give it my best shot.

Ode To A Meerkat

(as written by a lion)

my dearest love
t'is plain to me
that some things just
weren't meant to be

so sadly I
must lay to rest
thou crunchy snack
I love the best

broken off by
your suggestion
when you gave me
indigestion

fare thee well, lunch -
I feel dismal!
thank the gods for
Pepto Bismal.
