Lioness and the Ram

Ram – let me teach you gentle joys of submission.

Lie down beside me and be my purrr-fect lamb.

I promise you it will not be the end of the world.

I know you are a winner – indisputably.

Winning is your chief occupation.

WINNING is even listed on your resume.

Whatever the competition may be – love, friendship,

Business or family life – I’ve seen you win it.

That’s what puts you right at the top.

A Lioness – your purrr-fect cat – sometimes I roar.

I don’t waste valuable time trying to win anything.

Don’t need to compete – I was born superior, BORN FREE.

That puts me at the top too – with much less effort.

Lie down beside me and be my purrr-fect lamb.

There’s room for the both of us at the top of the world.
