A trip at the zoo

A trip at the zoo

 

The zookeeper opened his lunchbox, sardines and jellied eels,

The meerkats who were on lookout alerted this to the seals,

Who distracted the guards by flopping, frantically in their pools,

While the monkey picked the cages locks using rudimentary tools.

 

A snake tied up the zookeeper, two worms cuffed his wrists,

The bear would have slapped him round the chops if he wasn't a pacifist.

The mighty lion burst out of his cage with an almighty ROAR!

The chameleon turned into a shoe and walked straight out the door.

 

The giant snail packed his shell and set off back to France,

The ants marched up the teacher's leg and made him scratch his pants.

The tigers tangoed with the mums, the flamingoes twist and twirl.

The horses played cowboys with the boys while the octopus tickled the girls.

 

The big cats escaped over the wall using the elephant as a slide,

Who jumped about when he saw a mouse, the hyenas didn't see the funny side.

The hippo tip-toed past the guards and followed the elephant to the door,

But not before getting a burger and chips from the nearby fast food stall.

 

The animals lined up in their classes, from mammal to crustacean,

The gibbon put his glasses on and the register was taken.

The beavers eagerly stood up front, the baboons brought up the rear,

And the plonkletwinker, who's a mythical creature said, "I really shouldn't be here."

 

The giraffe could see the bus stop on the other side of the street,

The cars and bikes and trucks and such made crossing quite the feat.

A frog tried his luck, followed by a duck but both got badly squashed,

So the zebra laid down on the road for the other animals to cross.

 

They all piled on the number 9 bus, the walls bulged with the strain.

The hippo sat next to a little old lady who was crushed against the window pane.

The bus driver smiled and said, "where to?" "The chapel on Apple Pip Lane."

The monkey married the octopus, and all the animals came.

This had me laugh, smile and I was sad for the frog and the duck 😅, thank goodness for the zebra. Is there going to be a sequel?

[Daddy Lincoln]

Thank you, so glad you liked it 😊

I can confirm that both the frog and the duck made it to the wedding..the frog had to be on crutches for a few weeks but is in high spirits.

No plan for a sequel, I'll have to have a think about it 🤔 x

So cute. Pleased to hear that the Frog and the Duck both made it to the wedding and recovered. I'd hate for any animal to be hurt in any story.
