THE SILLY ANIMAL ZOO by Russ McKay

I promised not to say exactly where
But a Silly Zoo is really there
You couldn’t find it if you tried
But I’m happy to give you all a guide
Right at the door of that magical place
You’ll see a turtle with a monkey face
The next critter over is very small
A purple striped mouse whose name is Paul
You’ll hear it before you see it next
An elephant bird that’s very perplexed
Then there’s one fellow too big to hide
An anteater with a snout that’s two miles wide
There are no lions or tigers at this zoo
‘Cause normal animals just won’t do
The closest thing to something you’ve seen
A huge rhinoceros that’s a very bright green
There is one way you might get in
A zookeeper by the name of Ken…
He’s no longer there so his job is open
And if you apply you must excel at ropin’
Ken used to say that the animals hate him
And he was right because they ate him
