ZZTigers in the Zoo (The Zs were inserted by my darling cat Sparky)
Soldiers of doom help themselves to a broom
Helium lifts us up to a strange and mighty cup
Can we hold on to it just a little longer out of habit?
What is this world coming to when the scientific lettuce is due?
Peruse through the alphabet while you still can eat the halibut
Hold on tight to your soup lest someone should dupe
Cantaloupes in the doorway entice you to end the day
But from some deep darkness calls the hidden ape of the countess.
Shall we enter the palace while the Pinkertons shout, "Alas!"?
Or should we simply wait, ever wandering at the gate?
Forget the princely way your tooth so cherished your pen in your youth
Crumple up the letter of shame that your mother would so loudly acclaim.
If you should ever wish to end this endeavor
That is quite a shame I must exclaim
For I am not yet done with this attempt to have some fun
My strength is quickly waning and I must use up the words remaining.
Are you starting to think that the author is not quite in sync?
You are probably right and it's time to go fly a kite
Hold the imaginary thought of simplistic carbonation so helplessly sought
Let the tigers in the zoo jubilantly blow on their kazoos.
Archeologists of Macedonia are all fleeing to Cambodia
In a canoe or a boat and their wives wish that they had wrote
Because their grammar skills have waned just as the bathtub has drained
So long ago in Peru, oh how I wish that you had been there, too.
Holidays of blue so full of cowboys caged in a zoo
Down, down under where the Incas stashed their plunder
There you will find me silently sleeping in a tree
Please don't disturb me, you'll regret it if you awaken the Brie.
