King of the Mountains

Staggering in a cage of sticks and stones
Nocturnal amongst the Smiths and the Jones
Obambulate and gnaw on flesh and bones
Wishing for the mountains through moods and moans 

Lick the wounds of your habitat
'Ere when the grass was grown not flat
Obsequies to the starving cat
Pleasing for the aristocrat 
As we trap the last few
Recall this sight we drew
Disgrace the man who slew
Savour them at the zoo
