Mama's taking us to the zoo tommorrow!

The Toronto Zoo is having a Family Day Contest. Here's our cheesy entry:




"Mom, do wolves swim?"
"What's your favourite raptor?"
"Which do you like better, caimans or alligators?"

It's questions like these,
and many beside,
that lead me to wonder
if we shouldn't reside
IN THE ZOO!

It's Lego creations
of foxes and birds,
of beavers and moose
that we've seen, smelled and heard
IN THE ZOO

It's playmobil worlds
of penguins and seals,
otters and caimans,
lizards and eels
(just like)
IN THE ZOO

It's drawings and sketches
of stingrays and sharks,
colourful barbets,
eagles and larks
IN THE ZOO

Perhaps complete habitation
is a bit much to ask
so with membership in hand
we'll continue to bask
IN THE ZOO!

With friendly volunteers
and helpful zoo keepers
we learn more of the animals;
our friendships grow deeper
IN THE ZOO


p.s.

But Mommy!

Don't forget the -

cichlids, macaws, bats and ardvarks,
the octopus, tamarin, camels, and sharks.
The turtles, racoons, elk, and sea horses;
the hippos, the leopards and rhinoceroses.

And the great horned owl! And the giraffes! And tigers and zebras and all the laughs...

As you can see
It's time that we
get back
IN THE ZOO!
