A Tiger In My Trifle

[Just once in a while, I try to write a child friendly Poem which doesn’t end up as a horrific gore-fest... This is one such attempt...] **** There’s a tiger in my trifle, there’s a seahorse in the queue Not sure about a café with a coypu in the stew The polar bear just over there is chasing a gnu Six penguins just got flattened by a manic kangaroo The keeper’s got a net, he says I’ll catch the pelican Can he catch the pelican? No-one knows how well he can A chimpanzee is wearing clothes and strutting like a man He’s blowing noisy kisses to the old orang-utan The seals are in the pond causing lots of fuss and dramas A strange turn of events because they’re eating the piranhas The gorilla who would often spend all day eating bananas Is making Tarzan noises as he tries to ride the llamas The rhino’s gone out through the gate, he just got on a bus He couldn’t pay the fare... the driver didn’t make a fuss Police are running here and there, they don't know what to do That's what happens when they have an earthquake at the zoo
