Hershey Park Poem - April 2022

Dedicated to the Clinch girl who has had made memories here, but in Richmond presently

Sunny, fun, fun --

So many people under the sun.

We drove up from VA

Looking for the end of the week's run.

Here we are, into the zoo,

Dr. Seuss has nothing on me and you:

Oh, the places we have gone!

One if by snake,

Two if by armadillo!

These little up-armored varmints snuggle

each other, their plated bellies swelling

with crowded air, the hundreds of pesky,

smellier sapiens sauntering - LOUDLY

        by their inner corner sanctum

Owls, one-eyed

Vultures, hidden seals - DON'T DISTURB

Outdoor animals

A bear's snout

Bobcats and lynxes

--Dad, sitting this one out --

In the posed buck's shadow

More people than the norm

From all the States, and other places

The whole world

Fills this zoo

On Jackie Robinson day

a day for taxes

early weekend

Pleasant, calm weather

Few masks; I see a few. PANDEMIC NO MORE!

The big, supine porcupine.

30 thousand quills!

The mountain pronghorn:

Second fastest land animal!

On beyond zebra,

Mein Doktor!

Hershey Park Extravaganza!

I will eat those green eggs and ham, Sam I am!
