Zoo Dreams

Zoo Dream


I wish that I could
Swim at a large zoo
Just like the graceful
Huge sea lions do.

I would bark and wave
At the good girls and boys
And make them all laugh
At all the weird noise.

I’d frolic and dance
As best as I could
And make the kids gasp
Like I knew that I should.

I’d swim and I’d dive.
I’d play and have fun
And when I’d get tired,
I’d go lay in the sun.

I’d be given dinner
Of great yummy fish.
Then I would show them
How to eat with no dish.

The man in the red cap
Would then come to play.
He’d toss toys and give chase
And perform twice a day.

My favorite, of course
Was the game “Hide and Seek”
And from behind my flipper
I’d sneak a quick peek.

At the end of the day
When the crowds had all gone,
I’d relax in the water
And bark out a yawn.
