A Day At the Beacon Hill Park Zoo

A horse on the left
A horse on the right.
With us in the middle.
Tally ho, quite.

Walk through the park.
It's such a lark.
Walk, peacock strut, duck waddle.
Walk with the group, don't dawdle.

A cage of rodents at the zoo.
Baby goats and llamas too.
Finches, a baby pig.
A peacock with a tail so big.

And of course,
A miniature horse.
