At the Atlanta Zoo

In all of the United States, Four pandas still remain, Until next year, when they’ll return Back home to their terrain. So being in Atlanta, Where these bears are on display, We visited the zoo and had A most delightful day. Of course, we watched the pandas As they munched on their bamboo, But there were much more interesting Animals on view. My favorites were gorillas, For we saw them interact, As they beat their chests at kith or kin Then sneakily attacked. The pandas got us to the zoo And I’m so glad they did, The way aromas can entice To what’s beneath the lid.

I agree with Tom below. Your poem brings back a memory of my daughter riding a camel at The Bronx Zoo, at 7 years old. What a delightful but frightful experience for 5 minutes. I just love the zoo and your delightful poem too!

There's a lot to be said for zoos, all the animals are well fed and receive vetinary care that they wouldn't get in the wild. Tom

And, of course, there's nothing like the aroma of the gorilla cages wafting over the city --- like a high-powered turd attack. ~ Cowshed's Next

Gorillas have always been my favorites to visit. I love it when there’s eye to eye contact and wonder what they’re thinking. Thanks for sharing your visit, Ilene.

So, Pandas are just clickbait for zoos. A marvelously creative poem Ilene. Have a glorious day my friend.
