Let us in the gates Eagerness can't wait A Field trip today! Nature in cages And of wide variety Gathered to amuse. There's a cave for bats And there is a lion's Den The fish are glassed in! The giraffes stand tall The seal does tricks with his ball A fun time for all. Circus atmosphere So appealing to the young Marvel at the sights. Picnic or sacked lunch We must eat it quick, then go So much more to see! Pachyderms perform And monkeys do their swing Peanuts please them both. Cotton candy, yum! And an ice cream by the pond "Watch the graceful swan." Creepy crawly things In a building all their own With protection shown. There's a petting zoo Tamed creatures who like our touch A brief loving bond! Now it's time to go Our minds filled with all the sights Are THEY glad we came? |

Of course they are!! We're probably just as entertaining in their eyes as they are in ours! Delightful poem, David! Thanks for the trip! Been meaning to go there again soon!  Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 08-26-2000).] |

Oh, David; I had sooo much fun reading this wonderful anthology! I felt like a kid again, and as you made everyyhing so real and had it all come alive, I felt a child's delight in the journey through the zoo. This is truly a precious masterpiece! Bravo!!! Love and accolades to you, Sis Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

David, Have you been to the zoo recently, could this poem be titled "What I did on my Summer Vacation"? Delightful verse! Dennis :^) |

I didn't know when I got on today that I'd be visiting a zoo! These were great, a very enjoyable collection |

Oh David what wonderful memories this brought back, when I was a kid....we lived within walking distance of the Buffalo zoo...and we were there all the time, I'd almost forgotten the great times I used to have there. This is a terrific piece, or is it these are terrific pieces....whichever....they're great!!! Bonnie |
