A Trip Around the Zoo

caramel aardvarks swimming north pea-green piglets oinking forth barking spiders spinning looms elephants thunder -- sonic booms yellow monkeys pick their noses perfumed apes pluck pink roses dwarf giraffe can't find his neck kamikaze pigeons bombard poop decks paisley zebras soar into space mini-rhinos can't keep pace professorial owls release giant burps as orange flamingo soup they slurp i thought i'd take a trip around the zoo just for kicks, took some LSD too

There certainly is no lack of bodily functions at this zoo! I loved the "kamikaze pigeons bombard poop decks" line. Better wear a good hat when you walk on that deck... thanks for the laughs

Those 'kamikaze pigeons' are all over my neighborhood, especially where I park my car. Thanks, John. ~ Gershon

Lol! Gershon, I laughed out loud reading your funny write. Does one need LSD? That line with the dwarf giraffe that couldn’t find its neck was hilarious! I’m still laughing. Good humorous write:-) Alexis

Well, LSD means 'Lake Shore Drive' here in Chicago... It's a 6-lane mini-highway along the lake. lol. ~ Midget Monkey
