Serengeti, New York.

Throw wide your iron teeth my love
let the metal arms of your rounded gates
spin backwards and back again
a thousand numbers turning from greatest to least
and from least to greatest they shall be
the smallest first
let the slowest come first
Let the world run wild

The lion, my love, is loose.
How the hunter hates to lose.
I told you that today
we should not have come
to the zoo.
