At the Central Park Zoo

While watching the zookeeper feed The penguins was pleasing, indeed. A simple technique – One fish for each beak Seemed to work without witnessing greed. The turtles and ducks were fed, too, By a pond that’s a part of the zoo. A big bowl filled with grain Nestled on their terrain But they weren’t the eaters on view. For two pigeons were chomping away And to add to that urban display Into this habitat Crawled the skeeviest rat Who decided he might as well stay. Just a typical day in the park Where all creatures once housed in the ark Coexist and live free To a certain degree, Though I wish some would stay in the dark!
