Sense Sonnet - Tickler

Eating Sensibly

A hungry lion ambled through
The jungle for something to munch.
Two guys, off guard, came into view.
"Ah," thought the lion, "Here is lunch."
One was writing at his lapboard.
The other was reading a book.
The writer - the lion ignored.
The poor reader - the lion took,
And gobbled down the guy entire;
Then merely watched the other run.
If so hungry, one might inquire,
Why did the lion eat just one?

The king of the jungle assessed:
Writers cramp, while readers digest.
