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 Year Posted 2007
