I found this week’s prompt to be especially playful. I’m not prone to poetry, but that’s what was inspired by this week’s image. I hope you enjoy:)

My parents asked me one day,
what I’d really like to do.
I told them most emphatically,
Take me to the Zoo!
Where I can see the eagle’s head,
bald as all can be.
Feed the llamas from my hand
and watch the antelope’s spree.
I want to see the tiger
as he goes along his prowl.
Carefully watching zebra
and listening to his growl.
Where I can watch the zookeeper
wash the elephant’s back.
And visit strange Australia,
hopping the kangaroo’s track.
Please oh please I tell you
where I’d really like to go.
The zoo of course dear family,
It’s a never-ending show.

It really is a never-ending show. I’m ready to go.

It reminds me of the old Simon and Garfunkel song, It’s All Happening At the Zoo.

Sign me up – you paint a lovely picture of a trip to the zoo.
thanks!
Dear E. E.
The Simon and Garfunkel song popped into my head as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xKLBne1CoI (enjoy).
