Notes About The Poem

Love dances with children

Zoo

Baby girl Scarlett....
Take a look at your room
There's a Monkey on a Zebra
With a funny Baboon

You hold the honey Bear
Your number one squeeze 
They all gather 'round
For your tea party

It's a zoo around here
A zoo around here
Scarlett, every day
Is a zoo around here

You're having soooo much fun
With your furry little friends
Do I have to pay to get in??
So you want me to pay to get in!

There's a Lion and a Tiger
Playing with a Parrot
And a little bunny Rabbit
Munching on a carrot

The sign on the wall
Makes it plain enough
Don't feed the animals!
They're already stuffed!

It's a zoo around here!!

This could easily be put to music and make such an enchanting song for any child. I can just imagine them singing along. Lovely imagery to go with it, Enchanted....Maria
