A Tale of Daring and Bravery

Eating a bowl of red jello a friendly alligator said hello Sociable me greeted him back not desiring a 'gator attack Came across an amiable bear asked me if I'd brush his hair Trembling scared, I took the dare mouthing a secret, silent prayer Met up with a smiley lion offered me a drink of his wine I didn't refuse this chance to defuse a meet-up I could only lose... All this happened in our new, 'interactive' zoo ~ which I'd vote to defund, if I were you

A virtual zoo, how very meta… Hope it includes a virtual PETA!

Nisht. But the zoo does have a PETOP section: Pets for the Ethical Treatment of People.
