Craziest Time At the Zoo
Alright kiddos, we are enthused
We're headed for the zoo
Hip, hip, hey, hey; we're greatly amused
They did say, to see the usual -- nothing new
'Cos they'd been there on every free day
too many times, my jaded crew
I'd have to think of something risque
Wave Merlin's wand or try some voodoo...
Well, as we arrived, all the cages flung open
No animals in sight; it sure was bizarre
By now my kidsters were actually hopin'
Visiting loud screams upon a star --
--That I'd let them explore
those open cages bidding us in
So, enter they did and what's more
I went in too! But my silly grin
Soon changed to a frown
The caged doors open no more
~ Trapped in a COVID lockdown!
