Who's the Zoooze Chatterbox

You might find it very strange, in fact some think it's quite absurd For when I stroll around the zoo, I like to exchange a word or two I can't deny, I wouldn't lie, I like to shoot the breeze with that Lion guy! And when I leave, with twinkled eyes, he cheerily says, "Adieu, Good Bye!" I pass on by and say "G'day", to Hippity Hoppity Kangaroo I greet Giraffe, we share a laugh, and then "How are you??" to the Gnu! I chat while the Chimps do acrobats, and say "E...llo" to Mr. Elephant... Poor Tiger's throat is very sore.......well that's a bore! I offer honey for his grrrrrrrr......he takes a spoonful....and then he roars!! The Penguins standing on the ice...I gave them boots, and sage advice (They are rather bashful....but very nice!) I sing a ditty while Dolphins swim, and "What's up?"...to Wally Whale To the Zebra, dressed in black and white,...."Good evening, chums...and Nighty Nite!" It seems bizarre ....to talk to those, who live their lives, behind the bars... I chat a lot, perhaps it's looney...but it's really only, because they get lonely... So, if you like to talk a lot....give strolling through the zoo a shot!!

This is fun! I like this and you should file this as a keeper. I know that you must have read Ogden Nash and Richard Armour. Light and deft. I ALWAYS enjoy your work. Regards, Gerard.

Funny poem, Carrie, but I talk to animals sometimes too. Always talked to my cats like they were children and talk to horses before we go riding to establish a relationship. Got a great laugh reading your entry for the zoo contest! Best wishes for success. Love, Carolyn
