Safari Shenanigans:
In South Africa's wild expanse,
I took a jeep for a safari chance.
But then a lion crossed our path,

From elephants to zebra's play,
The laughter's here to stay.

And made me scream, "Not today!"

From mountain views to ocean's blue,
Cape Town's laughter shines through.

And turned into a grape-stomped chick.
The winemakers laughed and poured a glass,
In South Africa, joy's a blast.
From wines so sweet to hills so green,
The joy of life is always seen.
