Three lions stared at goings-on, <br />Because they were brand new, <br />Regarding sights till they were gone, <br />For what else should they do? <br />Like us, they learn how things are done, <br />The skills that others know, <br />In time like them, second to none, <br />With each one like a pro... <br /> <br />Three lions looking quite perplexed, <br />Amazed at what they saw, <br />To question what would happen next, <br />Then learn what lay in store... <br />Eyes open wide and taking in, <br />Like cameras set on zoom, <br />Depending on their kith and kin, <br />Their lessons to resume... <br /> <br />Three lions learning day-by-day <br />The hunting skills they'd need, <br />Gone was the time they used to play, <br />Their new lives must proceed... <br />How else could they survive the years? <br />As partners they'd do well, <br />As long as they could beat their fears... <br />But only time would tell... <br /> <br /> <br />Denis Martindale, copyright, August 2013. <br /> <br /> <br />The poem is based on the magnificent painting <br />by Stephen Gayford called 'Watch And Learn'.<br /><br />Denis Martindale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/watch-and-learn-5/
