Very funny Debra. I wrote a children's story, "My Imaginary Zoo" - that I posted here a while back. I had to post it in two parts. If you have a moment, search my poems for "My Imaginary Zoo" - kinda of similar, yet different. Yours is very whimsical - but, I think you need some sleep. LOL. Joe

Yes...I need some R & R for sure. Being a caregiver is exhausting physically and emotionally. Looking forward to reading your Imaginary Zoo poems...thanks for your comment.
