The Zoo

Off we went to the zoo on vacation To see animals of God's creation. Most of them I adore But reptiles I abhore. Visiting them was no recreation.

You have me laughing, Francine. Superb entry for Barbara's contest. I think most women abhor reptiles, especially the ones who walk on two legs. And I'm not talking about the GEICO gecko, if you know what I mean. Best wishes in the contest with you funny limerick! Love, Carolyn
