The Zoo🎪

Here's a story poem I wrote during English class once. It's written in a 'Dr. Seuss' kind of style. Enjoy!

Once upon a time, long ago and far away...
Just kidding! It happened just the other day...
Tommy's father came in and said "I know what to do!
Since everyone's so bored, let's go to the zoo!"
So everyone packed their things and hopped into their car
And drove to the zoo; at 316 Zoo Boulevard.

When they got there, they went to ticket booth number 3
Tommy's father ordered them. "4 tickets please!"
Together they enter the zoo. "This is weird" Tommy says
"A blue giraffe, a pink lion, a tiger sleeping in bed?"
Monkeys as guards, the guards are in cages...
It's a mix-it-up zoo! I haven't seen those in ages!"
Exclaims Tommy's dad. "What is that?" Asks his son
"It's a weird, messed up zoo. There's only one left, I think this is the one."

Amazed and excited, Tommy says " That's so cool!"
"It's not cool" says his sister. " it's boring. I'd rather go to the pool."
Tommy's mom and dad sigh. Lola's always like that.
For her, everything's boring. Uncool. That's what she always says.

Tommy interrupts "So where should we go?"
His mom checks the map " well, there's an animal show..."
Dad says "Great! Then let's go check it out! We can't stand here forever, talking all about."

So off they go to the animal show.

But when they got there, they saw a big red sign.
It said 'Do Not Pass, Tresspassers Will Be Fined"
Tommy starts complaining "This is so unfair!
I wanna see the show, I wanna go there!"
His father hugs him "Tommy, it's okay.
We'll see the show another day"

So off they go, bye bye animal show.

And for hours and hours, they explore the zoo.
Elephants, tigers, whales, lions, even striped flamingoes too!

At last, they've seen everything. It's nearly six o' clock.
"I know everyone's tired" says Tommy's mom. "But how about the gift shop?"
Everyone agrees, and they enter the shop.
"There's so many things!" Exclaims Lola. "Is there anything this shop has not??"

Lola runs to the jewelry. Tommy runs to the props.
Their parents hope they don't spend all the money they've got.

Everyone got what they wanted. Tommy got an egg
It turns into a dino. 'Just Add Water!' The label says

Happy and exhausted, with their gifts in their hands
They get into their car and... Umm.. And...
Oh, I'm sorry dear reader! I don't know what else to write!
This story came into my head, while I was sleeping last night
But I hope you enjoyed it. I worked hard on it, you see.
And I hope you'll read some other poems, also made by me :)
