fierce lion, movie star
roars at tourists now
at the zoo

Posted to NaHaiWriMo on 8/17/2012.  Prompt was lion. 

We, a group of lifelong learners, visited a wildlife park.  The resident male lion sauntered over, looked at us through the bars of his enclosure, roared several times, and then returned to his nap.  We were told that he had had a gig as the MGM lion for some years.
