The Treat

Today we went to the zoo, clouds scud high and the sky was blue. Mum,sis and me filed in the queue, Gran and Gramps waited too. Giant giraffes,six metres tall, looked over a stable stall. 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 and digest, picnic places to eat and rest. Gift shop,ices and more besides, entertainment diverse and wide.
