Even the animals are 'woke' now and offended when locked in a cage, wow!
they want to walk among the tourists
mingle with the sightseers
and for the lions,
it's like meat on the bone and maybe a couple of beers
to wash it down,

the penguins are cruising and p p p picking up penguins,
polar bears are refusing to sit on cool mints and any hints you may have had about monkeys acting awfully bad
were right,

the vultures have gone vegan and they're all sitting out in the garden playing canasta with the gnu which is news because perhaps it should be gnus,

yes, 'woke' is coming of age and we're doing away with the cage.
