A day at the Zoo
I called to the monkey who wore a pinstriped suit, Found out the giraffe and hippo are mute. Saw a man stare at a lemur 'til dark, Like he was waiting for some kind of spark. The leaves fell from trees, an impressive display, So I waved my arms like I made it that way. A woman made comment to me,...

ZOO LIFE
Zoo life is where some live, they are trapped in the zoo of life. They stay all day in the zoo, living in their cage. They wait to see all the people pass them by so they can jump up and down, and make a show. They need love and care; they only want attention...

Clouds Talking To Me
"Pretty clouds filled with water, then it rains down." By Poet I love to sit and watch the clouds, as they dance across the big blue sky. If I watch and wait what will I see, animals like a zoo walking by. One day I ask a big bright white cloud, where are you going? I was shocked when it answered back, off...

The Legend of Lincoln Park Zoo

Spring - What Are You Saying???
Birds are chirping and singing, little ones in their nests are swinging. Some are red and some just flew, one went right by you. Flowers are now awakening, their pretty colors will be breathtaking. Love them in colors of white~pink~yellow and blue, a pretty site as we walk around the zoo. Did you hear the big yellow bee? His buzzing sound fills me with...

Zany Zoo Adventure
Apes bounce crazily, Daring elephants frolic, Giraffes hilariously interact, Juggling kangaroos leap, Monkeys noisily orchestrate, Penguins quietly race, Snakes twirl under vines, Wolves xerox yaks, Zebras zigzag. ...

Will Visits the Zoo
William and I went to visit the zoo. A big sprawling zoo exceedingly grand We saw lions and tigers, some red kangaroo, Cute mini monkeys from a far distant land, And an ostrich who hid his head in the sand. Past the wild horses on flat open ground A wide green pasture beneath the blue skies The wonders of wonders was there...

Panders at the Zoo
The Panders have come to the Washington Zoo. They’ve got much to say, but near none of it’s true. Those cute little panderers, both black and white, make appeals to the left and concede to the right. They’ll give you down payments and not tax your tips. Like the Bush lied to Moses and said, “Read my lips!” They can’t help...

go to the zoo with the right granddaughter
I was reluctant to go to the zoo for several reasons. But you have not been there for so many seasons! It is more difficult now without legs that work but my granddaughter begged me with so much perk! She convinced me, and we had such a fine day! Watching the monkey, gorillas, and giraffes in play. I had not realized...

At the Zoo - very crude
He heard that the zoo was for sale; a donkey and tiger he'd 'nail': 'I want' - to the lass - 'your pussy and ass!' (And that's why he's banged up in jail...)...

A Night at the Zoo
The zoo closes. Everyone is alone in cages. They make noise, and eat food that was left for them. The zoo opens in a rush. The animals seem to awaken. But they were awake the whole time, their eyes were just closed. Free flying birds, talk to seals and laugh. Birds can fly off, but they need the crumbs. Seals dunk their heads...
