The Animals' Rebellion by Clifton Bingham
page 3 of 22 (13%)
The Tiger made his bow.

His long petition he unrolled,
With names all written down;
The courtiers stared--their blood ran cold--
King Leo gave a frown.

"What have we here?" demanded he,
"And what does he require?"
The Elephant said, "Here I see
A traitor, royal sire!"

The Brown Bear murmured, "So do I--
He's right, without a doubt!"
The monarch cried, with flashing eye,
"Turn this intruder out!"

[Illustration: PRESENTING A PETITION TO THE KING]

At midnight, in an empty hut,
Deep in the forest old,
The Rebels met with doors close shut,
Their dark schemes to unfold.

"Friends!" Tiger cried, "no more we'll brook
This despot's cruel reign;
Our charter lies before us--look!
The plan of our campaign!"
