Poetry and Short Stories

There's a Lion in the Living Room

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!
