Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

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

Jeff Kyser September 12, 2022 at 7:06 PM A virtual zoo, how very meta… Hope it includes a virtual PETA! Gershon Wolf September 12, 2022 at 7:09 PM Nisht. But the zoo does have a PETOP section: Pets for the Ethical Treatment of People.
