The zoo

Animals like I’ve never, ever seen before

Horses with stripes upon their backs

 And a bird they call macaw

Really big cats with really big heads

And hairy gorillas asleep in their beds

Birds that can swim and can’t even fly

Lots of young piglets that live in a sty

Birds with long legs that can run really fast

Snakes that can slither through the long grass

A thing called an elephant big and fat

And if you get to close they will steal your hat

Monkeys and gibbons swing through the trees

A bear that is scratching I think he’s got fleas

Spiders so big they could swallow you whole

And a funny little gofa that lives in a hole

Big greedy birds with big snapping beaks

And an ugly baboon with rosy red cheeks

The keeper throws fish to a fat old sea lion

He’s learned how to clap I think he’s called Brian

A panda from china is scoffing bamboo

These are the things I like at the zoo
