It’s a Jungle Out There

The summer has started, It’s time for country fair. The zebras, the tigers, And the bears are there.
The animals are going crazy, They’re all over the place. The monkey missed the branch, And ended up in a brace.
The elephants wore pants, The rhino wants a tie. The hungry hippo had to Be happy with a pie.
The heavyset gorilla, Broke the cozy couch. Oops! The little kangaroo, Fell out of the pouch.
The clown tried hard, To make the lion laugh. The ant took days, To scale the giraffe.
The turtle fell and broke his shell, But somehow saved his face. The cheetah sprained his ankle, And couldn’t finish the race.
The geese were running wild, They didn’t really care.
Didn’tItellyou?It’sajungleoutthere.
