Free from Cages

  
    Lucy didn’t have a thing to do
      So, off she went to a nearby zoo

    Studying the animals, most in cages
      Lucy sang her freedom’s praises

Hi Gershon, I remember as a child visiting the old school Bronx zoo. Back then the animals were mostly in cages and I sadly remember zoo visitors feeding the overweight gorillas Cracker Jack popcorn. But I heard over the years it has become a wonderful zoo for the animals with lush habitats and nutritious diets for them too. Good penning as usual. Shalom :)

Here in Chicago, zoos are better as well. But many animals are still caged in fairly tight straits. And even a 'habitat' has its limits. OK. I always wonder who is watching whom when at the zoo. ~ gw
