Poetry: The Essex lion

Inevitable, really, after this story:


The Essex lion

People of Essex, do not be afraid!
The lion is a cat called Teddy Bear.
The big animal threat has begun to fade.
People of Essex, do not be afraid!
OK, we admit our binoculars were mislaid
and you can go about without a care.
The lion is a cat called Teddy Bear.

People of Essex, do not be afraid!
