The Zoo

On a warm Saturday I went to the zoo To see the animals there To just stop by and stand in awe And yes, politely stare. I was surprised at what would be They looked right back and spoke to me... The Ostrich was the first to speak And asked me why I had no beak The zebra did have many gripes, He asked me why I had no stripes Right next-door were chimpanzees They asked me if I swung from trees? The Hippo gave a grumbling snort A tall giraffe said I was short The grizzly bears asked me for honey A leopard said my spots were funny The Hyenas didn’t have much to say They laughed at me and ran away The Cobra tried his best to charm The gator said he liked my arm The Elephant ate some corn and husk And tried to poke me with his tusk! I’ll just find something else to do I will not go back to the Zoo!
