Going To the Zoo
THE TREAT
Today
we went to the zoo
clouds scud high
& the sky blue.
Mum,sis &
me
filed in the queue
Gran & Gramps
waited too
Giant giraffes
six metres tall
looked over
a stable wall
Short sighted rhinos
. with a keen sense of smell
hippos wallowing
in a mud-filled well
Asian elephants
lifting logs,
leaving the crowd
all agog
Gorillas foraging
fancy free
penguins
'catching' fish for tea
Free to roam
bok and antelope
&
sea lions leaping
over a rope
Amazing scenes
to recall& digest,
picnic places
to eat and rest
Gift shop ices &
more besides
entertainment
diverse &
wide
