A. K. A. F. A. D. Series V: Cowardly Lion

A Chapter by Glen Yumang Manese

Roar: say something beautiful,
Roar: say something heroic,
Roar: say something courageous,
Stop, salute to the sound of the music, (star-spangled banner - 1st stanza)
Roar: say something beautiful,
Roar: say something heroic,
Roar: say something courageous,
Stop, calibrate & listen,

Cowardly Lion, aka Lion aka Lion King, makes no difference,
Since, we all been there in some form or another,
Ever wonder, what comes next...turn the page,
Adage: a proverb or short statement expressing a general truth,
Rooted down to this:

Cowardly Lion, where you at...come on out,
Let us here you scream & shout,
Scarecrow, where you at, roll-out,
Tinman, where you at, grab the guidon,
Fond memories never die,
Do or die, take a deep breath,
Give me liberty or give me death,
Can't hear you, louder...
Give me liberty or give me death,
Can't hear you, louder...
Give me liberty or give me death,
Can't hear you, louder...

Roar: say something beautiful,
Roar: say something heroic,
Roar: say something courageous,
Stop, salute to the sound of the music, (star-spangled banner - 2nd stanza)
Roar: say something beautiful,
Roar: say something heroic,
Roar: say something courageous,
Stop, it's hammer time,

Lion, where you at...come on out,
Let us here you scream & shout,
Scarecrow, where you at, roll-out,
Tinman, where you at, grab the guidon,
Fond memories never die,
Do or die, take a deep breath,
Give me liberty or give me death,
Can't hear you, louder...
Give me liberty or give me death,
Can't hear you, louder...
Give me liberty or give me death,
Can't hear you, louder...

Roar: say something beautiful,
Roar: say something heroic,
Roar: say something courageous,
Stop, salute to the sound of the music, (star-spangled banner - 3rd stanza)
Roar: say something beautiful,
Roar: say something heroic,
Roar: say something courageous,
Stop, present arms,

Lion King lead by example, lead them to victory,
History time & again never fails to give-up,
Never renders to cower away, peace thru strength,
Width & length - honor, courage & commitment,
A testament of your nobility:
the quality of being noble in character, mind, birth & rank,
Platoon, halt, left face, open ranks, march,
Scarecrow correct yourself,
Tinman here's your purple heart,
Lion King, talk the talk, walk the walk,
Platoon, close ranks, march:

Roar: say something beautiful,
Roar: say something heroic,
Roar: say something courageous,
Stop, salute to the sound of the music:

O say, does that star-spangled banner wave,
O'er the land of the free & the home of the brave...

It's been a lot of fun to finish this Series V, I really have to thank God, my doctors, my immediate family, my wife & kids for putting up with my struggles too find hope, when the darkness of Meniere's Syndrome took a different path for me, I have had it for a long, long time...& now the yellow brick road - finish line has been crossed...I still have what it takes to write great things that matter to me & ultimately that's all that matters in the end...always faithful, always forward...
