Notes About The Poem

Zero the Small Zebra

"All night long under the moonlight, as plain as day before thy eyes, he shines in this disorderly world." 
Quote by_poet

Zero the small zebra had faint black stripes,
          shined under the moonlight.
      Monkeys hung by their tails from pipes
                    thrilled at the sight.

The zookeeper loved to brush Zero's coat
          while people stood and stared.
      Marching in a grand way to gloat,
                    white goats were paired.

Zero walked circles around the green grass,
          children on his back rode.
      The zoo wildlife behind thick glass
                    even horned toad.
