"The Lion King" Haikus

Author's note:
The rather sudden explosion of fan-poetry has inspired me to 
write some Haikus.  Hope you like 'em.  To keep fights from breaking 
out over who's better than whom, I'm putting these in alphabetical 
order.
------------------------------------------------------------------
BANZAI

  He's always hungry
Gotta have a wildebeest
  Well he started it


ED

       Spastic hyena
Cannot control his laughing
   What did he just say?


MUFASA

  He's a doting dad
 And a bit of a bully
And that's why he died


NALA

Hey, check out those eyes!
 Better move over, Simba
    Hottest quadruped


PUMBAA

   Simpleton warthog
Flatulent as all get out
   Eats a lot of bugs


RAFIKI

        Resident shaman
He's not the one who's confused
      Even knows Kung Fu


SARABI

      Simba has a mom!
Scar doesn't seem to like her
   Won't put up with crud


SARAFINA

 One short line for her:
What do you think, Sarabi?
     She's an enigma


SCAR

     Perpetual jerk?
Or misunderstood outcast?
   Clues are sadly few


SHENZI

   Ooo... do it again
  The only smart hyena
Love that black lipstick


SIMBA

     Our main character
Went through a lot of trauma
    Why has he no fans?


TIMON

Know-it-all meerkat
Says "Hakuna Matata"
Brains of the outfit


ZAZU

Pompous blue hornbill
 Mufasa's majordomo
   And babysitter
