My Lion King Forum

I feel really weird for making so many posts--and not many poems have been posted here--but this is just a humorous poem I made up about Scar. It just took a few minutes, so I thought, why not post it?

Feedback, is, of course, welcome.



Scar is the subject of the third-person narration, but he speaks in first-person in quotations. There are many references to reflections in TLK, and I knew what Scar would be thinking if he was looking at his reflection.

He grinned at the water--admired his reflection
when his eyes met that burnt-sienna complexion.
"What shall I do," said he, in his self-inspection,
"With overflowing, delightful self-directed affection?"
"I, in there, am admiring me, out here; I count the ways,
the uncountable ways, to share with myself my own selfish praise!"

He felt his heart torn, not knowing what to do,
saying, "Reflection, why should I share with you!?"
"Oh how I love me, how I love my depravity!
"How can I get enough to fill my heart's cavity?"

With a serpentine gait he walked about;
His grin turned to a frown on both sides of his snout.
"Idiots surround me, unable to see
why I deserve their idolatry!"

"The problem is this: that only I can see,
only I can know, what wonders comprise me!
For only I am on that level, and only I have the smarts
The obstacle to overcome is their inability!"

"So I'll make it my mission,
yes I'll gain their submission,
through irresistibility
through brilliant sedition."

XD

Ahaha, that's pretty great. ^w^ Nice work.

Lol, that was neat. ^^

^What a pleasant surprise to see positive feedback. Thanks you two--although I regretted posting this. Now I don't regret it as much
