Taffy<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Age:<\/strong> 56
Occupation:<\/strong> Lion Queen<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, they’re all yapping about Joe Exotic now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t know why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There ain’t nothin’ special about him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been living with 567 lions for years and nobody comes to make a movie about me, do they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can’t remember the last time I had visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except for a couple of boy scouts who climbed over the fence three years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least my lions were happy to see them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These three cuties here \u2014 Lulu, Fifi and Bert \u2014 live in the house with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re of the sensitive persuasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can’t get them to sleep at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too stressed over this whole pandemic situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why I put the sleeping masks on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Helps them relax a little.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Except for Lulu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She thinks I don’t notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But her mask doesn’t actually cover her eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lions are really stupid that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost as stupid as humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
