Day 7

ZOO BOISE

June 10, 2010

There are lions and roaring tigers, and enormous camels and things,

There are biffalo-buffalo-bisons, and a great big bear with wings,

There's a sort of tiny potamus, and a tiny nosserus too--

But I gave buns to the elephant when I went down to the Zoo!

There are badgers and bidgers and bodgers, and a Super-in-tendent's

House,

There are masses of goats, and a Polar, and different kinds of mouse,

And I think there's a sort of a something which is called a

wallaboo--

But I gave buns to the elephant when I went down to the Zoo!

If you try to talk to the bison, he never quite understands;

You can't shake hands with a mingo--he doesn't like shaking hands.

And lions and roaring tigers hate saying, "How do you do?"--

But I give buns to the elephant when I go down to the Zoo!
