Off To the Zoo

Quote By Poet "A zoo trip can put a zip in your walk and zeal for being outside with the animals."

Off to the zoo we all went with no clue,
          Sally ~ Zack filled with pep.
      The big striped zebra did not moo
                     zeal in his step.


Walking the long winding zig-zag walkway,
          we wanted a cold drink.
      What a very hot summer's day,
                    we all wore pink.


The fun day and animals had ended,
          now off to home with zip.
      Dinner will be hot and splendid,
                   zucchini ~ dip.

Paula, a poem filled with the delight of a day at the zoo and a delicious zucchini and dip for dinner. This would be a wonderful children's book filled with the enthusiasm of a child's heart. Congratulations on your win! Blessings dear friend. Am busy replacing five lost rose bushes. Fun to see the new varieties coming in!
