The Zoo
I feel so sorry for these creatures
What is it they do all day
Stuck behind this wall of glass
With those blank looks on their face
Have they ever tasted sweet freedom
Or were they born inside their cage
Do they even know any better
It seems their lives are such a waste
Over the years they sure have fattened up
Put on a bit of weight
Do you think that those who feed them
Have changed their diet as of late
If I could just lift this latch
Then I could set those creatures free
But I'm not even sure these stupid animals
Realize they have the need
...said the Zoo Monkey to his friend
