I was born in a bank - - my mother went there and made a deposit

Cecil Was A Dandy Lion



Famous he was not
Until he got shot,
But now his picture's everywhere;
It seems some people really care!

I'd better not say much. Though I love birds, I am NOT an animal lover. What was the end result for the dentist, I wonder. Bri :)

I don't think he was ever extradited.
