At the Zoo

The sea lions were bellowing;
The lemurs were a’leaping.
Flamingos stood upon one leg,
The rhino soundly sleeping.

Puffins paddled in their pond;
The tortoises were munching.
Peacocks strutted right to where
The visitors were lunching.

The poor gorillas seemed so bored,
But marmosets were frantic;
Hissing cockroaches were skeevy
And they looked gigantic!

We spent a lovely afternoon
Observing at the zoo;
How strange we humans must appear
From beastly points of view!
