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

John Watt Date: 10/19/2020 8:09:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/20/2020 5:37:00 PM Those 'kamikaze pigeons' are all over my neighborhood, especially where I park my car. Thanks, John. ~ Gershon

Alexis Y. Date: 10/19/2020 6:47:00 PM 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 Login to Reply Gershon Wolf Date: 10/20/2020 5:34:00 PM Well, LSD means 'Lake Shore Drive' here in Chicago... It's a 6-lane mini-highway along the lake. lol. ~ Midget Monkey
