This is a story of when I went to the zoo
The sun so bright and sky so blue
It was the week's end, Sunday
And we were headed to the huge zoo in Bombay
It was wonderful with all flora and fauna
Birds chirping around, what a beautiful aura
There was a lion, a tiger and other big cats
And bears fighting each other, Ah! What a combat
There was this beautiful white deer eating grass
And a huge Arabian horse marching in his metallic brass
Then there were crocodiles, python and other reptiles
And the two chimpanzees juggling apples and running miles
I saw the huge, huge bird cage
In there birds appeared as if flying with rage
There were pleasant guys too, the stroke in pond
And the one legged crane who looked very despond
I also saw the squirrels playing with nuts
And a small mircat with a dull face as if he were headed to gibbets
There were tall trees with upside down bats
And there was a snow leopard staring at elephant's belly fat
I felt sad looking at rhino without his horn
I fed him some leaves as if I were to adorn
My eyes glowed looking at the tall giraffe
His long neck which rose high, longer than our flagstaff
Ah! What a wonderful day it was
I learnt about many new lives, those hidden beneath the gauze
God made so many magnificent creatures and animals
I being the one and many others, faraway in a real fable
Thank you, lord for making my gorgeous world
We men will try to preserve it as our dream world.
A great confirmation to save the flora and fauna in the end of your poem. And definitely as human beings that’s our sole duty too. You made many now to realize the same. The portrayal of your day at the Zoo is really amazing. It seem to me so much like that of reading a fable. Great start keep it up..
