The Lion's "Tail" (tale)

I hung a lion by its tail today.
As I did it, he roared and almost pawed the air away.

The lion was a twit as I had thought.
Easier than the plan he got caught.

It took him a while to realize that he had been tricked.
But by that time I had had him by the whip.

To let it go would be such a waste.
I could get a life if it stayed that way.

This was an option that hadn't clicked before.
In an instant opened my career's door.

I would show him off to the world.
Go everywhere with it till I was bald.

Who would have seen a lion like this?
Tied by the tail, its hard to miss.

All that crap school, colleges had taught.
Till now seemed to have got me naught.

Piggyback the lion, I would go far and wide
Known as the man with the iron hide.

My parents would be proud,as would my friends
New careers would open up again.

Now I start,with a smile and a twitter.
The lion,my gold, is all that glitters.
