Would you like to visit,
...my menagerie?
I kind of think you'd like it,
...and best of all it's free.

My friends are quite unusual,
...come on in and see,
We'll play some games and have some fun,
...of this I guarantee.

There's Wannabee the wallaby,
...Stretch, my pet giraffe,
Little Gus, my platypus,
...he sure can make me laugh.

Chuck the woodchuck,
...he's all furry,
He's a friend to Jewell the mule,
...who hails from south Missouri.

Buckaroo the cockatoo,
...lives up in a tree,
Rowena, the hyena,
...loves Tim, the chimpanzee.

There's but one rule, you must abide,
...within my little zoo,
Don't feed Bare Bear, because he's stuffed,
...he comes from Xanadu.

And last of all, my favorite pet,
...his mother was a rhino,
His daddy was an elephant,
...my baby, elephino.

Thanks for the smile. I can hardly wait to read it to my granddaughters.
