Animal Embassy

A porcupine, an owl and a beautiful iguana Were among the creatures that I got to see; And no, I wasn’t dreaming it or smoking marijuana – Every animal was real as it could be. For my grandkids were invited to a show with all these creatures; There were also frogs and tortoises and snakes. It was wonderful to see, up close, exotic facial features, Some of which resulted in some double-takes. Both my grands were quite enchanted and were brave enough for petting, Gently stroking certain reptiles’ backs or shells And I joined in their enthusiasm, somehow, though, forgetting, Age has no effect on Nature’s magic spells. *Animal Embassy is a program founded by naturalist Chris Evers, which connects people with live, exotic animals.
