Visiting the Bronx Zoo

On a sunny August afternoon
I went to the Bronx Zoo,
somewhat feeling blue...
I hurried to get there soon.


Tired of action movies, bowling halls, 
long Poker games and silly talks;
I looked for new ways of sheer excitement...
perhaps animals would offer some merriment.
 

I walked around and observed hungry zebras 
sticking out their long necks reaching for my bananas, 
but the chimpanzees snatches them while they were distracted by a snake, 
then quickly returned for more...Oh, I laughed hard at their stealthy trick!



The Bronk Zoo is located in the Bronx, one 
of the five boroughs of New York City.
