The Zoo

There are lots of things you'd like to have seen, like the dinosaurs and the giraffe, tall and lean.
You really have to go to the zoo, to see a family with a cute baby Wallaroo.
There are wondrous birds on a lovely lake, there’s a vicious wolf and a rattlesnake.
There are pony rides and birds of prey, and something happens every day.
There are wolves and foxes, hawks and owls,
And a great big pit where the lion prowls.
There are quiet pools and pleasant cages,
Where reptiles lie and the lion rages.
The place is clean, the keepers kind,
And the old baboon has a pink behind.
The entire aim of a well-kept zoo,
Is to bring the animal world to you!
