There's a Lion in the Living Room!

This place is a zoo!

There's a Lion in the living room,
A Leopard on the floor,
A Cheetah in my easy chair,
I hear more at the door!

An Elephant with great big tusks
Is charging up my walk.
A Monkey's on the curtain rod
and overhead... a Hawk.

Six Kangaroos are hopping
In a line from room to room.
Seven Squirrels and a Wallaby,
Around the house they zoom.

A Rhino's in the bathtub
A Hippo's in the sink
A herd of half-trained Muskrats
are raising up a stink.

There are Bats up in the belfry,
Silly Cows who like to moo.
My bed is full of Puppies,
This place is like a Zoo!

Sounds like the school and classrooms I taught in for thirty years. Reading this poem reminded me of another blessing for being retired from that zoo. It wasn't like a zoo--it was a zoo. LOL :D

I liked this. Rather reminds me of something of the light animals poems I like to write every so often. I'll be taking a look at your wizard books to as I am a huge fan of Tolkien and the wizard Gandalf.
From one point of view, the supernatural is all stuff and nonsense, but from another it's magical wonderful lore callling to something deep and everlasting within us. Crystal Wizard, I hope you have achieved wonderful work of great literary merit that readers will cherish. All the best, kenny
