The Outdoorsman
Earl was a handsome, cultured young man who liked being outdoors
His interests were rock climbing, hiking & acting
When he wasn't outdoors he kept a colossal, very detailed diary
Earl eventually went into the motion picture industry
With his sudden wealth, be bought a chic house on endless grounds
He began to raise lions, two to be exact
One Male & One Female
Soon he was being mobbed by people in the street for his autograph
One day at the studio he became tense & edgy
With the suggestion from his agent, Earl fled to Africa, where he was outdoors all the time
His agent also sent his lions to a farm in Texas
Earl returned several years later
He ended his career as an actor
He devoted himself to raising more lions and working on his diaries
At last people no longer mobbed him in the street
One day he made a trip to New York
A publisher was thinking of taking his diary and creating a memoir of his life
The publisher said if this sells well, there may be offers to make this into a feature film
A week later, Earle called his agent asking for the whereabouts of the farm in Texas
The agent gave him the information
Earl took the next flight out to go and visit with the two lions
When he arrived he explained to the owner of the farm who he was
He asked if he could be alone with them
They began growling and showing their teeth
The two lions sprinted over to Earle, jumped on top of him as he fell backwards
Earl had no chance
They mauled him to death
Who's going to write this heartwarming reunion in his diary?
Maybe I will
