There are days that I feel like I would die
So sore afraid in bed I would lie
Fervently silently praying I would buy
Some time to this life
So filled with strife
Sometimes I feel like there’s a knife
Held onto my throat. Oh What a bile!
I live everyday hoping each day gets better
I live my life to the letter
Which most time feels like a fetter
I act like I’m a go-getter
My very being yearns for a petter
To assure me it’s gonna be better
I need to see that person in you
You need not be my boo
Yes that’s your cue
It’s time to pay your due
Now I guess you have no clue
All I have been dying for is a beau
I just hope it’s you
Our Endless Adventure
I traveled the world today,
With little Ms.Maryk.
We snuck through all the shadows,
And found a magical way.
We climbed to the tallest tower,
And stayed ‘til the latest hour.
We marched ‘cross the murky river,
Then went home to take a shower.
We went to every city known,
To see all of their treasures shown.
We finally met Petter Pan,
He said to never be all grown.
We swam through the wild sea,
And ran from a giant bee!
Oh the fun we had today,
Just ‘lil Marykate and me.

So here's a who's who is the Zoo,
Sue the snake petter, that's who,
She was hugged by the Boa Constrictor,
Who could eat her but only licked her,
And scared it out of her in the loo.
For Linda-Marie's Zany Zoo contest.
