Crazy Zoo Daze

There's something crazy going on these days Down at the city zoo The giraffes have joined the high society club While the monkies are getting tattoos The elephant's are packing up their trunks And moving to the Bronx With all the hippos on a diet In an effort to lose their junk The Lions have stopped lying The cheetahs have stopped cheating And as far as all their drinking They're both going to A.A. meetings The orangutans are the ones to blame For a pyramid scheme gone bad Left the zebras all in the red When they lost everything they had The crocodiles are out sunning themselves By the pool drinking Piña coladas While the mother snakes go on Maury To try and figure out who is the father Yes, things are a little crazy these days Down at the city zoo But if you were locked in a cage all day Wouldn't you go crazy too?

Good point Mike, I think we'd all go stir crazy! I love seeing the zoo animals but feel bad for them too! Funny poem with a good ending that makes you think!:)
