M. L. Kiser Poet Free verse

Zoo Life

Mangy-Monkey;
Gum thief.
Raggle-taggle,
Tail-waggle;
Bone-breath.

Gaggling geese, 
Webbed feet;
Penny-anney,
Corn-candy.
Snakes-alive,
About five;
Or six,
Playing tricks.

Babbling brook,
Nearby nooks
And crannies;
Harboring teeth.

Fighting bribing,
Monkey-see,
Monkey-do.
Fickle-furred,
Out-turned
Waddle-feet,
Bearing bird.

Roaring-money,
Never tamed;
Hungry for
Avian-brain.

Itchy-scratchy,
Eggy-hatchey;
Teeny-tiny,
Shells cracking.

Tourists gawking,
Feathered-squawking;
Metallic-clanging,
Cage doors.

All this,
Attended quick;
When hungry
Bellies roar.
