Zoo - Just To Amuse You

One fine day, I planned a visit to zoo Alone landed amidst the fauna left so few Treaded merrily on greenery, singing my heart out Whilst a lion’s scary roar made me shout ‘Ah! Another visitor’, said the lion annoyingly ‘Why should we entertain you?’ said he fumingly ‘What’s the point in wasting your energy and mine? Making us do the funny acts, do they seem so divine?’ Hearing those words I dared Reduced the distance, still scared Said I, ‘Stop fuming King of Jungle, watch out for your age, Hadn’t I come to visit you, wouldn’t you be bored in your cage?’ ‘The answer dwells in your question, silly girl You humans have no heart of pearls, The so-called king of jungle imprisoned in cage Heartthrob of millions I was, at my early age’ ‘To meet my family, hope it doesn’t get too late I need to eagerly meet ‘em all, my cubs, my mate I still feel them, they are waiting for me Oh girl! Be kind enough to set me free.’ I couldn’t have done that with all my might Turned my way, delighted by a peacock’s sight The multihued beauty was sheltered in a metallic cage Awe! Gloomy this beauty looked, in distress and rage ‘What is wrong? Do you want to fly?’ It turned around and looked straight at the sky ‘Show me those vibrant feathers, the fan-like crest Guests would adore seeing you dance at your best’ ‘I dance just for my love, my love for rain, Cool breeze no more likes crossing my lane Why do I open my feathers without my mate’s presence? Just to amuse you, I shall do; confined in this fence’ Dumbstruck, I decided to turn my way Walked ahead in quest of animals happy and gay There it was! A crazy monkey, flirting and making its choice Mimicking others and playing around, hear its evil noise Bouncing, bouncing and dancing, dancing It ruled as if dungeon’s dominant king Wow! You look so happy; what’s the reason? ‘Girl! No more fun for you, ‘coz free I’ll be from this prison’. Two giant men came forward and opened the door Good Lord! It’ll be free, unkind humans is just animal’s lore! Monkey screeched, ‘Meet me soon in the nearby forest Where I meet my pals, play, eat, have fun and rest’ Happy to see the monkey’s joy, I walked ahead Across the bushes, saw a van, a huge van in red Giant men carried animals and dumped in the van Shocked I was to see the sight and reckoned their plan Why was my monkey friend inside, for what purpose? It was clear as I read the van’s name, ‘The Great Royal Circus!’
