Classic Poem

An African lion has partner become
With a jolly old ram, and they live in one home.
You may see them yourself, for together they're tied
And like trusty friends take their meals side by side.
They don't feed on acorns, nor does grass suffice;
A tender young lamb seems to both very nice.
The Nemean terror and Helli's old ram
Compared with these two were a fraud and a sham.
If a place in the stars should to creatures be given,
Our goat and our lion are worthy of heaven.
