"If you're going to be this crazy, I'm going to put you in the zoo!" -Said by a mother to her boy.

My mom is awesome, but I must say 

That she can really get into a fray: 

One moment of temper, and I'm out the door, 

And into the zoo, where lions doth roar. 

Not all moms do this, some sit and scream, 

Others may threaten, but never do dream 

That one day their child, their one precious gem, 

Would be in a zoo. The thought would kill them. 

But my mom's real nice, she comes all the time, 

She even buys peanuts, and we both do dine. 

But no other children are given, you see, 

So I must make friends with the old chimpanzee. 

I really do wish that you would come, too. 

We'd have so much fun, right here in the zoo. 

We'd jump with the monkeys, swing with our tails; 

In the aquarium I fish for whales!; 

Then we can laze with the polar bears, cold; 

Let's live in the zoo until we're both old. 

But no, I am sure that your mother's too kind 

To let you come join me to culture your mind. 

So, stay at home, with your boring toys. 

I'll keep my tigers who like to lick boys. 

My mom's just SUPER, I now must say. 

For who else could possibly just throw away 

Such a good boy as me; come now, let's admit, 

The zoo's much more fun when you're inside of it!
