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! August 06, 2020 Craziest Time at the ____ Poetry Contest Sponsor: Caren Krutsinger
