I woke up today
I felt really quite strange
I opened my eyes
I was inside a cage!
And holding me up
A giant hairy ape
And on his shoulder
A macaw in a cape
They were taking me
To go live in the zoo
Along with the cats
And the tiger sharks too
But when I got there
There were no sharks in sight
They had just escaped
During the dead of night
But I saw my friends
My family and you!
We were all taken
Now we live in the zoo
So remember this
All you boys and you girls
Don't get caged by apes
Or bright-feathered, caped birds!
Author notes
Yes, I know -- some of my rhymes are a stretch. But I wanted to make the poem as humorous as possible without losing certain concepts, so I had to really reach for rhymes. Anyways, please tell me how you like it! This was my first time writing a comedy poem, but I had fun!
