Discussing the Zebra Twins

Those zebra twins have more energy than a barrel full of hungry lions. I try to picture this but can’t, as I have never seen a barrel that size. They prance around in my yard and eat my petunias, the neighbor groused. Do they eat your marigolds and your day lilies? No. I would plant more of those, and less petunias. Problem solved, right? They wiggle their big fannies in our faces, the neighbor reported. I looked outside where the twin zebras were. They were licking the bark off his yum yum trees. Maybe they need salt, I said. Maybe you need to keep them in your own yard! Said the neighbor.
