The Zoo

Title:     The Zoo
Author: Mary Carolyn Davies [More Titles by Davies]

We were walking in the zoo,
And all the animals looked at us;
The bear and the hippopotamus,
And quite a few
Lions and wolves and a yak and a gnu.
And we were glad some one had made
Cages around them, so that we
Could walk there and not be afraid:
But could just pretend that they were free;
And could eat us both--if they wanted to.

[The end]
Mary Carolyn Davies's poem: Zoo
