Poem
My son came home from school one day, wanting permission to go, to the Zoo. His field trip sparked a riot. Can you imagine at home, what immediately ensued? Trolls, Dragon, the weird frogs, plus a sundry of forest folk, all wanted to come. Woe is me, I thought, as I fainted dead away. Can I even remotely get this undone? Our neighbor witch, thought it a marvelous thing. She definitely wanted to be there. But then, now did the entire, blooming forest folk! Can you imagine the result? I swear! Naturally, the Zoo said no! Then I offered them the rights for the resulting video show. Naturally, the News Guys wanted to come, for a reality story, all new and fully aglow. Yes, ‘The Wild is about to meet, the Caged.’ Came the headlines from everywhere. The witch put a spell on everyone; to successfully return us, without a worry or care. Then she zapped… Us… There. The Penguins are barbarians, The Weird Frogs cried. But jumped in, for a good time as the Puffins taught them to ride, their water slide. The Polar Bears got a chance to play, for a change, with our fun filled Forest Bears. The dragon went straight to the monkey house, and let them all out… of their lair! Never fear, he let them ride to the sky, with acrobatics included for them, in the ride. You see, they’re a curious lot, and literally wanted to see where the human’s abide. But when they finally saw, what it looked like, they gladly went back, to their home. Not enough trees for their liking… and cars trapping people in their cages, of chrome. Now the beavers loved the otters, and the seals made the Trolls roar with, endless fun. The seals put on a show and the Trolls paid a toll by rubbing their tummies, every one. The Walrus joined in for the water fun, spraying everyone, and giving the Trolls a ride. No one was bored, that day, as the giraffes watched happily, from where they reside. Then as the night came to a close the dragon, did a spectacular, fireworks show. I’d been near dead with worry. But the day went great, as I finally, came to know. For once in my life, every thing was grand… as we safely made it home, though late. Too bad Dragon did sneak back, to bring the Barbarian Penguins, home to our lake. The next morning I got up to a God-awful noise for the penguins wanted to eat, now! I could hear them, though they were in my recliners, all down by the shore. I avow! Not to mention, the Zoo authorities had caught dragon on videotape, start to finish. I thought we were in trouble, until a truck arrived with the penguins breakfast fish. The authorities had come along, and wanted them kept right where they are. Oh Joy! It appears renovations were scheduled, for their beloved home, at the Zoo. So enjoy! Apparently, this would be their temporary home, so with fond regards… They left and… I put Dragon in charge… Can’t wait for the results… to start!
