Very funny Debra. I wrote a children's story, "My Imaginary Zoo" - that I posted here a while back. I had to post it in two parts. If you have a moment, search my poems for "My Imaginary Zoo" - kinda of similar, yet different. Yours is very whimsical - but, I think you need some sleep. LOL. Joe

Yes...I need some R & R for sure. Being a caregiver is exhausting physically and emotionally. Looking forward to reading your Imaginary Zoo poems...thanks for your comment.

Well Debra, what a coincidence, i worked night shift for many years, and all my inspiration for my poems came to me at 4am. So you are not alone.. like this poem of yours, it's happy and positive. harry
