Spring King

Leo the lion fiercely roars
Defiance at the whole outdoors;
He snarls unholy imprecations
On less aggressive constellations.
His appearance leonine
Itself declares “The sky is mine!”
But all dictators should beware
Of what is termed the lion’s share:
Despite the headline he is getting,
Leo hourly is setting.
