The Zookeeper Writes An Honest Children’s Book

A is for Antelope, which isn’t a deer.

B is for Babirusa, which isn’t a pig.

C is for Capybara, an animal I hear

Was the largest of rodents ‘til your kid did appear.

D is for Dumbo Octopus, a name that fits you.

E is for Echidna, which I wish your wife said.

F is for Frigatebird, which sounds much akin

To what I wish to say unto you and your kin.

G is for Gerenuk, which is also not a deer.

H is for a place where you might disappear.

I am now leaving to go do my job

And I bid good day to you and your blob.

Were I A Tiger

Were I a tiger in a cage

I think I would be filled with rage,

And when the humans gave me food

I’d return it, halfway chewed.

The human doctors would have a hunch

Why I refused to eat my lunch,

And they would come inside my pen,

And I’d enjoy the meat of men.

Were I a tiger, I’d be happy, yet

I’m not a tiger; I’m a vet.

A Look At Nature

A chicken met a dragon
One Friday afternoon.
The chicken told the dragon
“I wish I looked like you.”
Then the dragon ate the chicken
‘Cause that’s what dragons do.
I will never forget
That first field trip to the zoo.
