Kings Never Make Permanent Pets


Written for 3WW Prompts... Vulnerable, Inclined, Figment..

Kings Never Make Permanent Pets


I have many a bell
In my house
Always inclined to buy one
Loved belling the cats
Never thought of being
Vulnerable to any ploys
For I was lion's pet
Looking back, now
I realise that King's
Never make permanent pets
Situations make them choose
My  strength was actually
A figment of my imagination
It was my fault
Those whom I had taken
As Cats had slowly got
Transformed into Lion's cubs
New pets, and vulnerable me
Keep listening to the
Tinkling of bells I couldn't use...

    No one is indispensable and true that our strengths are sometimes a figment of our own imagination!! A great warning and advise against doing something, or being gullible.
