It was like a zoo as I made my way through the wild aisles at the local Walmart.
I went to the All-American Zoo today.
So many animals had gathered to play.
Wal*Mart was printed all over the place.
Action was running at a feverish pace.
As I entered, I saw some old people in blue.
They were so friendly and greeted me too.
The animals I met were all in such a rage.
I don’t know when they escaped from their cage.
I saw a rhino where I wanted to go
and he filled the aisle and traveled real slow.
In his hurry the elephant lost his long list
but thanks to his memory, nothing was missed.
A pair of hyenas was parked in the aisle.
They stood with each other and laughed for a while.
A giraffe had an advantage that wasn’t for me.
The things on the top shelf were easy to see.
Some of the animals had all of their young.
When I got to a corner, out one of them sprung.
In fear, I started to run from the door
and would you believe, there were two more?
It said it was Walmart but it must be a zoo.
There were monkeys and apes and gorillas, too.
I quickly checked out from this super market.
I wonder how different is would be at Target.
LOL,NOt too different, alittle more organized!
The Zoo, no kidding and you don't see them share much
in any of their aisles!
It's tug and pull and here we goooooooooo...GREAT POEM, I loved your metaphors Larry!

The Holidays are not really here yet, hope the Zoo will close early- but, I doubt it.
Because Wal-Marts are all over, in every small town that never had seen anything bigger than a five and dime, (oops dating myself here)...that the best way to tell the demographics of a certain town is to park yourself near the door and watch the people for a while. that will give you a better idea than the census bureau.
Cute write, we call Walmart "Wally World" for all the crazy things that go one. Don't go there unless I absolutely have to, at least the one near us is crazy. Target is not much different, but again the one near us is a little better. Enjoyed this piece...
Lieutenant Fay Kincaid has plenty on her plate with being commander of the Rockland PD Support Division which included two of the most prestigious units there, SWAT and the Bomb Squad as well as CSU, SRO and Dispatch. Not only that, but she is the si

Your poem is too funny. Not what I expected from the title, but with you - you generally get a wonderful "twist."
