I said, "shall we go out today"?
Ben said, “where to”?
I know I said, “let’s visit the zoo”.

We went by bus.
And then walked through the gate.
As if on a date.

We saw the monkey’s first, and then birds on their perch.
The penguins and the seals were having fun.
And the elephant ate his bun.

There were some very tall animals.
And some very small creatures.
And people I think who were teachers?

When we got home they asked, “where have you been”?
I said, “family we have seen”.
“Ben saw a wolf, and I saw a lion”.

Oh! our master said.
“That’s why you have been a while”.
“Did you see a crocodile”?
